Cardiology

What is Cardiology?

 

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the heart and blood vessels. A cardiologist is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions related to the heart — such as chest pain, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, blocked arteries, and heart failure.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in India today. But the good news is — most heart conditions can be prevented, managed, or treated effectively when detected early. At Apex Balaji Hospital, our cardiology team combines advanced technology with personalised care to give your heart the attention it deserves.

 

Our Cardiology Services

 

OPD Heart Consultation - If you have chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, or high blood pressure — our cardiologists will examine you thoroughly, review your symptoms, and guide you on the best course of action. Early consultation can prevent serious complications.

 

Cardiac Diagnostics - We offer a full range of heart tests at our in-house diagnostic facility:

• ECG (Electrocardiogram) — Records the electrical activity of your heart. A quick and painless test done in minutes.
• Echocardiography (Echo) — An ultrasound of the heart that shows how well it is pumping and whether valves are working properly.
• Treadmill Test (TMT / Stress Test) — Checks how your heart performs under physical stress. Used to detect blocked arteries.
• Holter Monitoring — A portable ECG device worn for 24–48 hours to detect irregular heartbeats that may not show up during a normal ECG.
• Blood Tests — Including lipid profile, troponin, and other cardiac markers to assess heart health.

 

Conditions We Treat 

 

Our cardiologists have experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of heart conditions, including:

• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) — Blocked or narrowed arteries that reduce blood flow to the heart
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) — A silent condition that puts extra strain on the heart and arteries
• Heart Failure — When the heart is not pumping blood as effectively as it should
• Arrhythmia — Irregular or abnormal heartbeat (too fast, too slow, or uneven)
• Angina — Chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart
• Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) — Emergency care and post-attack recovery
• Valvular Heart Disease — Problems with the heart's valves (aortic, mitral, pulmonary, tricuspid)
• Cardiomyopathy — Disease of the heart muscle
• Congenital Heart Disease — Heart defects present from birth

 

Emergency Heart Care

A heart attack is a medical emergency. Every minute matters.

If you or someone around you experiences sudden chest pain, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, breathlessness, cold sweats, or fainting — call us immediately at 8383070425.

Our emergency team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to cardiac emergencies without delay.

 

Cardiac Medications & Management

Many heart conditions are effectively managed with the right medicines, lifestyle changes, and regular follow-up. Our cardiologists create personalised treatment plans that include:

• Blood pressure and cholesterol management
• Diabetes control (a key risk factor for heart disease)
• Medicines to prevent blood clots and heart attacks
• Diet and weight management guidance
• Smoking cessation support

 

Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore

• Please visit our cardiology department immediately if you notice:
• Chest pain, tightness, or heaviness — especially during activity or at rest
• Shortness of breath even with mild activity or while lying down
• Palpitations — feeling your heart racing, fluttering, or skipping beats
• Unexplained tiredness or weakness
• Swelling in the feet, ankles, or legs
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
• Pain spreading to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back
•  

Do not wait and see. When it comes to the heart, early action saves lives.

 

Who Should Get a Heart Check-Up?

You should get a routine cardiac evaluation if you:

• Are above 40 years of age
• Have a family history of heart disease
• Have high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol
• Are overweight or obese
• Smoke or consume alcohol regularly
