When Should You See a Cardiologist?
A Cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and blood vessels. You should consult a Cardiologist when you experience heart-related symptoms or have risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Irregular heartbeat, palpitations, or racing heart

Persistent high blood pressure (above 140/90 mmHg)
scheduled
Swelling in legs, ankles, or feet

Dizziness or fainting spells
soon
Family history of heart disease (parent or sibling before age 55)

Diabetes or high cholesterol not controlled by GP

If you experience sudden chest pain with sweating, pain radiating to the jaw or left arm, or sudden severe breathlessness, call emergency services (108) immediately — these may indicate a heart attack.

Conditions Treated by a Cardiologist
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Narrowing or blockage of the heart's arteries due to cholesterol plaque buildup, the leading cause of heart attacks.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Serious — requires lifelong management
When to seek urgent care: Chest pain at rest, increasing frequency of angina, or sudden severe chest pain
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Persistently elevated blood pressure that damages blood vessels and increases heart attack/stroke risk.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Chronic — the 'silent killer'
When to seek urgent care: BP above 180/120 (hypertensive crisis) — seek emergency care
Heart Failure
The heart cannot pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's needs.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Serious — progressive but manageable with treatment
When to seek urgent care: Sudden severe breathlessness, inability to lie flat, or swelling worsening rapidly
Arrhythmia (Irregular Heartbeat)
Abnormal heart rhythm — too fast, too slow, or irregular. Includes atrial fibrillation, the most common type.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Varies — some are benign, others life-threatening
When to seek urgent care: Fainting spells, very rapid heart rate (>150 bpm), or associated chest pain
Valvular Heart Disease
One or more heart valves don't open or close properly, affecting blood flow through the heart.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Varies — may need monitoring or surgery
When to seek urgent care: Increasing breathlessness, fainting, or rapid decline in exercise capacity
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
Complete blockage of a coronary artery cutting off blood supply to heart muscle. A medical emergency.
Common Symptoms:
Severity: Emergency — every minute counts
When to seek urgent care: All heart attack symptoms are serious — call 108 immediately

Questions to Ask Your Cardiologist
1What is my cardiovascular risk score?
2Do I need an angiogram, or can an echo/stress test suffice?
3Should I take a statin for cholesterol?
4What lifestyle changes will have the biggest impact?
5Are there generic alternatives to my heart medications?
6How often do I need follow-up visits and tests?
7What warning signs should I watch for at home?
8Is my condition hereditary? Should my family get screened?
How to Prepare for Your Cardiologist Visit
Before Your Visit
- Bring all previous ECG, Echo, and stress test reports
- Bring recent blood work — lipid profile, blood sugar, kidney function
- List all current medications with exact dosages
- Fast for 12 hours if a lipid profile or blood sugar test is expected
- Note your family history of heart disease, diabetes, or sudden death
During Your Visit
- Expect physical examination — heart sounds with stethoscope, pulse check, blood pressure
- An ECG (electrocardiogram) may be done on-site — takes 5 minutes, painless
- Be prepared for an echocardiogram if this is your first cardiac visit
- Describe chest pain precisely — location, duration, what triggers it, what relieves it
- Mention all lifestyle factors — smoking, alcohol, exercise habits, stress levels
After Your Visit
- Take heart medications at the same time every day, even if you feel fine
- Schedule follow-up in 3-6 months (or as advised)
- Monitor blood pressure at home if advised — maintain a log
- Red flags to watch: sudden chest pain, breathlessness at rest, fainting, rapid weight gain
- Join a cardiac rehab program if recommended — improves outcomes significantly
Heart Health Tips
Exercise 30 minutes daily, at least 5 days a week
Brisk walking, cycling, or swimming reduces heart disease risk by 30-40%. Start slowly if sedentary.
Limit sodium intake to less than 2 grams per day
Skip papad, pickle, and processed foods. Read food labels — most packaged foods have high hidden sodium.
Get your lipid profile checked annually after age 30
Total cholesterol should be under 200 mg/dL. LDL ('bad' cholesterol) should be under 100 mg/dL.
Quit smoking completely
Smoking doubles heart attack risk. Within 1 year of quitting, your risk drops by 50%.
Monitor blood pressure at home if you're over 40
Normal BP is below 120/80. Home monitors cost Rs 1,000-2,000 and provide more accurate readings than clinic visits.
Manage stress through yoga, meditation, or regular breaks
Chronic stress raises cortisol and blood pressure. Even 10 minutes of daily meditation helps.
Eat heart-healthy: more fibre, less fried food
Include oats, nuts, fish, and green vegetables. Replace ghee-heavy cooking with mustard or olive oil in moderation.
