Know More About Cardiac Care

When should I consult a cardiologist?

You must consult a cardiologist if you experience these symptoms:

  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty in breathing
  • Dizziness
  • Irregular heartbeats
  • Swelling in your legs
  • Hypertension

How does interventional cardiology differ from cardiac surgery?

Interventional cardiology treats heart conditions using minimally invasive catheter-based techniques like stenting and angioplasty. Cardiac surgery, on the other hand, involves open-heart procedures. Classic examples include bypass surgery and valve replacements.

What should I do to prevent heart disease?

To prevent heart disease and safeguard your heart health, you can:

  • Eat a nutritious, balanced diet
  • Exercise consistently
  • Practise stress management
  • Monitor your cardiac health with routine check-ups
  • Track vitals such as blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels

What is TAVI, and who requires it?

TAVI stands for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation—a minimally invasive procedure for replacing a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It is ideal for patients who are at high risk for traditional surgery.
