FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Heart attack is a medical emergency. Heart muscle is injured every fraction of a second due to lack of oxygen supply. Damage to the heart muscle can lead to heart failure or death. Non-emergency heart diseases can be treated after detailed evaluation.
Symptoms may include diffuse chest discomfort radiating to one or both arms, unexplained sweating, sudden breathing difficulty, unusual tiredness, loss of consciousness, giddiness or dizziness. Seek emergency care immediately; an ECG and appropriate blood tests can help establish the diagnosis.
A patient with typical symptoms and ECG or blood-test findings suggestive of heart attack needs immediate priority. Use an ambulance and go to the nearest centre able to perform angiography and angioplasty promptly. When transfer cannot happen in time, the treating emergency team may consider clot-dissolving medicine.
Anyone can have a heart attack when certain risk factors are present. Heart physiology is similar in all people, while risk factors vary. In an emergency, accept the possibility quickly and seek treatment without delay.
Age and family history are non-modifiable risk factors. Modifiable factors include smoking, diabetes, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, lack of exercise, unhealthy food habits, excess weight and ongoing stress.
Prevention includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, sound sleep, stress management, stopping tobacco, moderation of alcohol and weight management. Periodic checks and good control of diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol are also important.
Every minute counts during a heart attack, and an avoidable delay can cost a life. In non-emergency situations, a second opinion from another qualified specialist can help you understand the diagnosis and treatment choices.
Stay calm, give the patient courage and support prompt medical decisions. Learn basic life support, help the patient follow medicines and lifestyle advice, and consider cardiac screening if you are a first-degree relative.
Primary angioplasty is preferred where it can be performed promptly and is clinically suitable. Bypass surgery, clot-dissolving medicine or medical treatment may be appropriate in other situations. The choice depends on the blockage, timing, clinical condition and established medical evidence.
Every medicine and procedure has known benefits and possible risks. Your doctor should explain the balance for your condition. Report any new symptom promptly so the clinical team can decide whether it is related to the illness or treatment, such as bleeding while taking blood thinners.
Other heart conditions include congenital defects, diseases of the heart valves, heart failure or heart-muscle weakness, rhythm disorders and diseases of the great arteries or pericardium. Echocardiography and other selected tests help assess many of these conditions.
A treadmill test may screen for reduced blood flow when symptoms occur with exertion. A positive test can lead to angiography for further risk assessment. Depending on the severity and significance of a blockage, the cardiologist may advise medical treatment, angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Heart treatment should follow established clinical evidence and be supervised by appropriately qualified professionals. Discuss any complementary treatment with your cardiologist because it may interact with medicines or delay effective care.
Review the cardiologist’s recognised qualifications, specialist training, clinical experience, hospital associations and ability to explain the diagnosis and options clearly before choosing your doctor.
Yes. Persistently high blood pressure can damage the heart and blood vessels and should not be neglected. A cardiologist can assess associated cardiac risk and coordinate appropriate treatment when needed.
Cardiac interventions are performed through tubes or catheters under local anaesthesia and X-ray guidance. Cardiologists perform catheter-based interventions, while cardiac surgeons perform open-heart procedures. Depending on the condition, treatment may be invasive or minimally invasive.
Cardiologists evaluate and treat conditions including high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, valve disease and congenital heart disease.
A cardiologist diagnoses heart disease and performs catheter-based procedures such as angiography, angioplasty, stenting, pacemaker implantation and device closure. A cardiac surgeon performs operations such as coronary bypass and heart-valve surgery.
If you have palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness or chest pain, consult a heart specialist promptly. Severe or sudden symptoms require immediate emergency assessment.
