Cardiac Diseases

A variety of disorders affecting the heart and blood arteries are included in cardiac disease. Therefore, effective treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach involving skilled Cardiac Surgeons, Cardiologists, and advanced facilities.

As a result, our expertise ensures thorough management of these complex issues.

Cardiac Disease, also known as heart disease, refers to several disorders impacting the heart’s structure and function. Common types include:

➤ Coronary artery disease: Blockage or narrowing of coronary arteries
➤ Heart valve disease: Problems with one or more of the heart’s valves
➤ Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats
➤ Heart failure: The heart’s inability to pump blood effectively

Prevention of Cardiac Diseases:

Preventing Cardiac Disease involves several key strategies:

  • Regular exercise

    This helps maintain a healthy weight and improves heart function, thereby reducing risk.

  • Heart-healthy diet

    Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains supports overall cardiovascular health.

  • Regular health check-ups

    These enable early detection and management of risk factors, leading to more effective treatment.

Symptoms:

The symptoms of Cardiac Disease can vary depending on the specific condition. However, they generally include:

➤ Chest pain or discomfort: This could feel full, compressed, or under pressure.
➤ Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing during activity or at rest.
➤ Fatigue: Extreme tiredness that interferes with daily activities.
➤ Irregular heartbeat: Sensation of skipped beats or rapid beating.
➤ Swelling: Noticeable swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet.

Causes

Several factors contribute to Cardiac Disease, including:

➤ High blood pressure: This condition increases the heart’s workload, leading to damage over time.
➤ High cholesterol: It causes plaque buildup in arteries, obstructing blood flow.
➤ Smoking: This habit damages blood vessels and reduces oxygen in the blood, worsening heart conditions.
➤ Obesity: It contributes to high blood pressure and diabetes, raising cardiac risk.
➤ Diabetes: This condition significantly increases the risk of coronary artery disease.
➤ Genetic factors: A family history of heart disease can increase susceptibility.
