FAQs

  • What are the common symptoms of heart disorders?
    People with heart disorders may experience chest pain, feeling sick, stomach pain/indigestion, sweating episodes, pain in the leg or arm, jaw or back pain, choking sensation, swollen ankles, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, etc. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a visit to the best cardiologist in Mumbai.
  • What diseases do a heart specialist or a cardiologist treat?
    A heart specialist treats a wide range of heart-related problems such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina (chest pain), sudden cardiac arrest, heart failure, heart attack, blood clots, atrial fibrillation, and other heart rhythm disorders, endocarditis, cardiogenic shock, heart valve problems, heart abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, congenital (from birth) conditions, problems with the aorta (aneurysm, stenosis), stroke, etc. If you’re experiencing any of these cardiovascular problems, consult the top cardiologists in Mumbai for the best possible treatment.
  • What kind of procedures does an interventional cardiologist do?
    An interventional cardiologist performs various procedures: 1. Cardiac catheterisation/Angiogram In this test, the presence, location and size of the plaque deposits in the arteries, the heart muscle stability, and the activity of the heart valves are detected. 2. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)/ Angioplasty This procedure is also known as angioplasty in which the coronary artery is opened up to restore blood flow. This treatment is performed during emergencies for a heart attack patient. 3. Balloon Angioplasty This Angioplasty is performed to improve the blood flow to the heart. A balloon-tipped catheter is guided up to the blocked artery. When the balloon reaches the site of the blockage, it inflates and opens the artery walls by stretching it. 4. Atherectomy In Atherectomy, a special pulverizing device is used to open the stiff blockages in the coronary arteries. This procedure is performed during balloon angioplasty. 5. Stent Implantation When the balloon angioplasty or atherectomy is completed, a metal coil which is called a stent is placed in the artery. This stent is placed at the end of the catheter and helps in preventing opened arteries from collapsing. If you want to consult an interventional cardiologist in Mumbai, we have the best interventional cardiologists in the panel. 6. TAVI (transcutaneous aortic valve implantation) It is a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. The new valve is placed inside the diseased valve. 7. Electrophysiology study and radiofrequency ablation It is a test to measure the electrical activity of the heart and to diagnose arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythms.

  • What is angioplasty?
    Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels, usually in the arteries.

It is a minimally invasive procedure that can improve symptoms and blood circulation for various cardiovascular conditions. For angioplasty in Mumbai, contact Fortis Hospital Mulund
  • What is bypass surgery (CABG)?
    Bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease. It involves creating a new pathway for blood to bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using a healthy blood vessel graft. This improves blood flow to the heart, relieves symptoms, and reduces the risk of heart attacks. It is typically considered when other treatments are not sufficient.
  • Can CT angiography detect blockage?
    Certainly! CT angiography can detect blockages in blood vessels using X-ray imaging and contrast dye to highlight the vessels. It's effective for identifying blockages caused by conditions like atherosclerosis in various parts of the body, including the heart, brain, and other organs.
