FAQ
How do I know if I need to see a cardiologist?
It is important to consult a cardiologist if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. Additionally, if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, or a family history of heart disease, seeking a professional evaluation can help prevent potential complications and ensure early detection and management of heart-related issues. Regular check-ups are especially crucial for individuals with a sedentary lifestyle or those over 40 years of age.
What is a Holter Monitor, and why might I need one?
A Holter Monitor is a portable device that continuously records your heart’s activity over a 24 to 48-hour period. This extended monitoring allows doctors to detect heart rhythm irregularities or issues that may not be captured during a brief, standard ECG. It provides valuable insights into your heart’s behaviour during everyday activities, helping in the accurate diagnosis and management of various cardiac conditions.
Whats the difference between ECG & ECHO?
An ECG is used to detect heart rhythm issues and electrical abnormalities, while an Echocardiogram (Echo) provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function, helping to identify problems with heart valves, pumping ability, or other conditions. Both tests are non-invasive and essential for diagnosing and monitoring heart health.
What is the purpose of the Treadmill Test (TMT)?
The TMT (Treadmill Test) is used to evaluate how your heart performs under physical stress. During the test, you walk on a treadmill while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. It helps identify potential issues like coronary artery blockages, arrhythmias, and other heart conditions that may not be apparent at rest, providing valuable insights into your heart’s performance during exercise.
Can high blood pressure be diagnosed with ABPM?
Yes, ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring) offers a detailed profile of your blood pressure over a 24-hour period, including day and night measurements. This provides a more accurate and reliable diagnosis than a single blood pressure reading, helping to identify variations or potential issues that might be missed during a standard check-up.
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 essential to seek medical attention without delay. These could be warning signs of heart disease, and early diagnosis combined with prompt treatment is critical to effectively managing the condition and preventing further complications.
