When to Seek Cardiac Screening and Consultation
Heart diseases often develop silently, with symptoms appearing gradually over time. Early detection through routine screenings can help prevent complications and improve long-term heart health. If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms, seeking medical advice is crucial for timely intervention. Key warning signs that may require cardiac screening:
- Persistent fatigue – Feeling unusually tired, even after adequate rest.
- Heart palpitations – Irregular, rapid, or pounding heartbeat.
- Chest pain or discomfort – Pressure, tightness, or pain in the chest, especially during physical activity.
- Shortness of breath – Difficulty breathing even with mild exertion or while at rest.
- Dizziness or fainting spells – Unexplained episodes of lightheadedness or loss of consciousness.
- Swelling in legs, ankles, or feet – Fluid retention, often linked to heart failure.
- High blood pressure – Consistently elevated blood pressure levels, increasing the risk of heart disease.
- Pain in arms, neck, jaw, or back – Discomfort that may signal an underlying heart condition.
- Cold sweats or nausea – Symptoms that may indicate an impending cardiac event.
- Family history of heart disease – Increased risk if close relatives have had heart conditions.

Things to Know Before Starting a Cardiac Treatment
Understanding the key aspects of cardiac treatment can help patients and their families prepare for the journey ahead. Several factors influence the choice of treatment and recovery process. Key considerations before treatment:
- Type and severity of heart condition – Determines whether lifestyle changes, medication, or surgical intervention is required.
- Available treatment options – Includes non-invasive, minimally invasive, and surgical procedures based on the patient’s condition.
- Potential risks and benefits – Each treatment plan is tailored to balance effectiveness and minimise complications.
- Pre-treatment lifestyle modifications – Adjustments in diet, exercise, and stress management may improve treatment success.
- Medication adherence – Prescribed drugs play a crucial role in stabilising heart conditions before and after treatment.
- Recovery time and rehabilitation – Varies based on the procedure; post-treatment care and cardiac rehabilitation are essential.
- Impact on daily activities – Some treatments require temporary lifestyle modifications or rest periods.
- Family history and genetic factors – Influence disease progression and response to treatment.
- Financial planning and insurance coverage – Understanding costs and available financial support can ease the treatment process.

Increased Heart Rate: Causes, Risks, and When to Seek Medical Attention
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What lifestyle changes can help improve heart health?
Maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle involves eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, avoiding smoking, and keeping blood pressure and cholesterol levels in check. Patients with existing heart conditions should follow their cardiologist’s personalised recommendations.
Are all heart conditions treated with surgery?
No, not all heart conditions require surgery. Many can be managed with medications, lifestyle modifications, or minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty, catheter-based valve replacement, or pacemaker implantation. The right treatment depends on the patient’s specific condition.
How do I know if I need a pacemaker or other cardiac device?
A pacemaker or implantable cardiac device may be recommended if you experience irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), slow heart rate, fainting spells, or heart failure symptoms. Tests such as ECG, Holter monitoring, and electrophysiology studies help determine if a device is necessary.
How long is the recovery time after a cardiac procedure?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure. Minimally invasive treatments like angioplasty may require only a few days of rest, whereas open-heart surgeries can take several weeks to months for full recovery. Cardiac rehabilitation programmes can help speed up recovery and improve heart function.
Does Graphic Era Hospital provide emergency heart care services?
Yes, we have a fully equipped Cardiac Critical Care Unit (CCU) that provides round-the-clock emergency cardiac care, including heart attack management, emergency angioplasty, and advanced life-support systems to stabilise patients in critical condition.
