How to Choose the Right Cardiologist in Uppal
- Check the qualification: look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology. An interventional cardiologist performs angiography and angioplasty, while a cardiac surgeon performs bypass and valve surgery.
- Match the need: blocked arteries, valve disease, heart failure, rhythm problems and congenital heart disease each have doctors with a special interest.
- Look at the set-up: a 24-hour cath lab, ICU and emergency team matter most when a heart attack strikes.
- Bring your records: earlier ECG, echo, angiogram and blood reports, and a list of medicines, make a first visit more useful.
- Ask about prevention: a good cardiologist also talks about blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar, diet and exercise, not only procedures.
Symptoms That Should Not Wait
Red-Flag Alert
