Cardiologists In Delhi

Do you feel chest tightness while climbing stairs, a fluttering heartbeat that comes and goes, or breathlessness that is getting worse over the weeks?

These symptoms are easy to put down to stress or acidity. But when they keep returning, a timely check-up with a cardiologist can mean the difference between early treatment and an emergency.

At CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, our cardiologists in Delhi provide complete cardiac care under one roof, from diagnosis and angioplasty to long-term heart health, backed by 24×7 emergency support.

Who is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a doctor who diagnoses, treats and helps prevent diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiologists evaluate symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations and breathlessness, find the cause, and plan treatment. An interventional cardiologist also performs catheter-based procedures such as angioplasty and stenting.

When to Consult a Cardiologist in Delhi

Heart symptoms are easy to dismiss. See a cardiologist if you experience:

• Chest pain, pressure, heaviness or tightness, especially during exertion
• Palpitations, or a racing, fluttering or irregular heartbeat
• Shortness of breath during routine activity or when lying flat
• Dizziness or fainting episodes
• Unusual tiredness or reduced stamina
• Swelling in the ankles, feet or legs
• High blood pressure that is hard to control
• High cholesterol or diabetes
• A family history of heart disease, or being over 40 with no recent heart check-up

If you have sudden chest pain, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, cold sweat, severe breathlessness or fainting, do not wait for an appointment. Call an ambulance and seek emergency care immediately, as these can be signs of a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

Issues Addressed by a Cardiologist

Our cardiologists treat a wide range of heart and vascular conditions, including:

• Coronary artery disease, where blocked arteries reduce blood flow to the heart
• Heart attack (myocardial infarction)
• Angina, or chest pain caused by reduced blood supply to the heart
• Arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation, bradycardia and tachycardia
• Heart failure and weak heart muscle
• High blood pressure and high cholesterol
• Heart valve diseases
• Cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and endocarditis
• Congenital heart conditions such as atrial septal defect
• Cardiac arrest risk assessment and prevention

Diagnostic Methods Used by a Cardiologist in Delhi

After taking your history and examining you, a cardiologist may recommend tests such as:

• ECG (Electrocardiogram)
• Echocardiogram
• Treadmill Test (TMT) or Exercise Stress Test
• Holter Monitoring (24–48 hour rhythm recording)
• Coronary CT Angiography
• Coronary Angiography
• Cardiac MRI
• Tilt Table Test
• Electrophysiology (EP) Study
• Blood tests, including cardiac enzymes, lipid profile and blood sugar

You may not need all of these. The tests depend on your symptoms and risk factors.

Treatment Suggested by a Cardiologist in Delhi

Based on the diagnosis, treatment may include:

• Medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rhythm or clotting
• Lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, weight management and stress control
• Angioplasty and stenting to open blocked arteries
• Pacemaker or ICD implantation, cardioversion or catheter ablation for rhythm disorders
• Bypass surgery (CABG) for extensive blockages, in coordination with a cardiac surgeon
• Cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack or heart procedure
• Long-term follow-up for chronic conditions that need regular review
