🌟 Introduction

Our heart is one of the most vital organs in the body — working every second to pump oxygen and nutrients throughout the system. However, heart diseases are rising rapidly worldwide due to stress, lifestyle habits, and underlying medical conditions.
A Cardiac Consultation with a skilled cardiologist can help detect heart issues early and prevent serious complications in the future.

❓ What is a Cardiac Consultation?

A Cardiac Consultation is a specialized medical evaluation performed by a cardiologist to:

• Check the health of your heart

• Identify risk factors for heart disease

• Evaluate symptoms such as chest pain or breathlessness

• Provide treatment or lifestyle guidance to protect your heart

It includes medical history, physical examination, and specific heart tests if needed.

🩺 When Should You Meet a Cardiologist?

You should seek a cardiac consultation if you experience:

• Chest pain or tightness

• Shortness of breath during activity or rest

• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations

• Swelling in feet or legs

• Dizziness or fainting episodes

• High blood pressure / high cholesterol

• Family history of heart disease

• Diabetes or obesity

Even without symptoms, regular check-ups are recommended after age 40.

🔎 What Happens During a Cardiac Consultation?

The cardiologist will typically:

1️⃣ Review your medical history and lifestyle
2️⃣ Perform a physical heart examination
3️⃣ Recommend diagnostic tests if needed

Common tests include:

Test	Purpose
ECG (Electrocardiogram)	Checks heart rhythm & electrical activity
Echocardiogram	Heart structure & pumping function
Treadmill Test (TMT)	Heart performance under stress
Blood tests	Cholesterol & heart risk markers
Holter Monitoring	Continuous rhythm tracking for 24–48 hours

These help detect heart disease at an early stage.

• Healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains

• Regular exercise (30–45 mins/day)

These small changes create a big impact in heart health.
