Heart diseases can be broadly classified into 4 forms, such as:
It is a heart condition in which fat or its related substances get deposited inside the arteries, building up plaque. With time, this plaque gets hardened and blocks the arteries, affecting the blood flow to the other organs. It can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases.
Coronary heart disease occurs when plaque builds up inside the walls of the arteries, affecting the blood supply to the heart. It is one of the most common heart diseases that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.
Some risk factors, such as ageing, and family history are not under anyone’s control. However, some lifestyle factors can be controlled, including:
You must seek a consultation with a cardiologist if you experience any of these symptoms:
Our cardiologists are experienced in rapid diagnosis and providing the appropriate treatment for various heart conditions.
Though heart attacks and anxiety mostly have overlapping symptoms, it can be challenging to differentiate between both conditions. But there are some different symptoms that you can notice. Heart problems cause chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, cold sweats, and dizziness. Whereas, anxiety's main symptoms include panic attacks, excessive worrying, muscle tension, headaches, stomach upset, feeling anxious, and its long duration of symptoms.
However, self-differentiation of the symptoms is not encouraged. It is best to seek a thorough medical assessment by our cardiologists, who are experts in this field and help differentiate between both conditions.
It is a small medical device which is implanted in the chest. It sends electrical impulses to the heart muscles, which help regulate the heart’s rhythm thereby, helping to treat arrhythmias.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries through techniques like balloon catheters, followed by the placement of a stent. Whereas, bypass surgery is a major surgery performed to bypass blocked coronary arteries by creating new routes for blood flow using grafted arteries or veins.
Although it is always advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle, a family history of heart disease increases your risk of developing a heart condition.
Heart attack symptoms usually differ among men and women. Sometimes women do not experience the main symptom of a heart attack, i.e., chest pain. In addition, women experience less recognisable symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, fainting, discomfort in the neck, arms, or back, and shortness of breath. Because of this, they delay seeking medical care. So, if you experience any of these symptoms, seek a consultation with our expert team of doctors immediately.
Yes, stress and heart health are correlated. Chronic stress can often increase the risk of developing heart disease by increasing the body’s cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Try to manage stress in your daily life using relaxation techniques such as meditation, light exercises, and social support.
Sometimes, the cause of heart failure is unknown, though mostly it is caused by conditions that weaken or damage the heart. These medical conditions increase the risk of heart failure:
If someone near you is experiencing a heart attack, the first thing you should do is call the emergency services immediately. Make the person sit down properly, loosen any tight clothing, and perform CPR if and when needed.
