Signs of heart problems

It is highly recommended to have a heart health check-up if you are experiencing any symptoms related to your circulatory system or heart.

These symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort (angina), shortness of breath, palpitations (where you feel your heart beating strongly), dizziness, fainting, or an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).

High-Risk Factors For Heart Disease

It is advisable to have regular heart health checks if you have high-risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, diabetes, or a family history of cardiac disease.

Our team of cardiologists can work preventatively to assess your risk of developing heart disease or a heart-related condition. We can develop a tailored treatment plan to help you maintain a healthy heart.

Some of the diagnostic methods we may recommend include cardiac MRI, ECG (electrocardiogram), echocardiogram, stress or exercise testing on a treadmill, or angiogram. We can also evaluate your need for, and if necessary, implant a cardiac device such as a pacemaker.

Cardiac Conditions We Diagnose

Other general cardiac conditions that we diagnose and treat encompass a wide range of issues. These include heart murmur, which involves unusual sounds during the heartbeat, cardiomyopathy, a condition affecting the heart muscle, and pulmonary oedema, which is fluid accumulation in the lungs.

We also address atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat, as well as coronary artery thrombosis or myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack). Additionally, we manage congenital heart disease, which refers to heart defects present from birth, and diseases of the arteries such as atherosclerosis, arteritis, and atheroma, which involve the build-up of plaques or inflammation in the blood vessels.

General Management Of Heart Diseases

Hypertension management involves implementing effective strategies to control high blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risks. For coronary artery disease, we provide expert care through lifestyle changes, medication, and, if necessary, interventional procedures to manage and treat the condition.

Our approach to heart failure includes comprehensive management plans that encompass medication management and lifestyle modifications. We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias, offering advanced options for pacemakers and other interventions if required.

preparing for appointment

Be prepared to discuss your medical history and any symptoms you may have experienced. During the scan, try to relax and follow the technician’s guidance to ensure accurate results.

during the appointment

Appointment

Electrodes or sensors are placed on your chest, arms, or legs to monitor your heart’s activity. Various imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, MRI, or CT scans, are used to create detailed images of your heart. Sound waves or other imaging methods may be employed to provide a clear view of heart structures. In some cases, you might need to hold your breath briefly during the scan to ensure the images are as accurate as possible.

post appointment

Post-Appointment

Your cardiologist will review the test results with you, discuss any findings, and recommend any necessary follow-up tests or treatments. Adhere to any lifestyle changes, medications, or treatments prescribed by your cardiologist. Make sure to schedule any follow-up appointments or tests as advised. Continue to monitor your symptoms and heart health. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, contact your cardiologist promptly.
