Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Common symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, and swelling in the legs. If you experience these, consult a cardiologist immediately.
A heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, reducing stress, maintaining a healthy weight, and controlling blood pressure & cholesterol levels can help prevent heart diseases.
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) checks the electrical activity of the heart, while an echocardiogram (2D Echo) uses ultrasound to examine heart function and structure.
Your doctor may recommend an angiography if you have chest pain, suspected blockages, or abnormal stress test results to check for narrowed arteries.
