What is an Angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart muscle. It often involves the placement of a stent.

How often should I have a cardiac check-up?

For healthy adults over 40, an annual check-up is recommended. However, if you have risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or family history, more frequent evaluations may be necessary.

What is the difference between a pacemaker and an ICD?

A pacemaker primarily treats slow heart rhythms, while an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) can also deliver a shock to treat life-threatening fast heart rhythms.

Is heart surgery safe at Indira Hospital?

Do you offer non-invasive heart tests?

Yes, we provide ECG, 2D Echo, Stress Tests, and Holter monitoring to diagnose heart conditions without invasive procedures.

What is the recovery time after a heart bypass (CABG)?

Most patients stay in the hospital for 5-7 days and can return to light activities in 4-6 weeks, with full recovery in 3 months.

Can diet alone reverse heart disease?

While diet is crucial for management and prevention, established heart disease often requires a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgical intervention.

What are the signs of a heart attack?

Common signs include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, pain in the jaw, neck or back, and feeling weak or lightheaded. If you experience these, seek emergency medical care immediately.
