FAQ
How do I know if I need to see a cardiologist?
You should consult a cardiologist if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease.
What is a Holter Monitor, and why might I need one?
A Holter Monitor records your heart’s activity over 24-48 hours to detect irregularities that a standard ECG might miss.
What should I expect during an ECG?
An ECG is a simple, non-invasive test where electrodes are placed on your chest to record the electrical activity of your heart.
What is the purpose of the Treadmill Test (TMT)?
The TMT helps determine how well your heart handles physical stress and can identify potential coronary artery blockages.
Can high blood pressure be diagnosed with ABPM?
Yes, ABPM provides a comprehensive profile of your blood pressure throughout the day and night, offering a more accurate diagnosis than single readings.
What should I do if I experience symptoms of heart disease?
If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing heart disease effectively.
