Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What are the common symptoms of heart disease?
  Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, or swelling in the legs. If you experience these, consult a cardiologist immediately.
• When should I consider a heart check-up?
  Regular check-ups are recommended if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or a family history of heart disease.
• Are angioplasty and bypass surgery the same?
  No, angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked arteries, while bypass surgery involves creating a new path for blood flow using a graft.
• What is a stress test, and why is it done?
  A stress test evaluates how well your heart functions under physical exertion, helping diagnose conditions like coronary artery disease.
• Can lifestyle changes improve heart health?
  Yes, a heart-healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol can significantly reduce risks.
