FAQ
When should I get my heart checked?
You should undergo a heart evaluation if you experience symptoms like chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, swelling of legs, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. People with risk factors (diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, smoking, family history) should get annual heart check-ups.
Are chest pains always related to the heart?
Not always — chest pain can come from muscles, lungs, stomach, or nerves. However, heart-related chest pain is serious and should never be ignored.
What tests are usually required for heart evaluation?
Common tests include ECG, Echocardiography (ECHO), Stress Test, Holter monitoring, and advanced imaging such as Cardiac MRI/CT.
When is a pacemaker or ICD needed?
A pacemaker is required when the heart beats too slowly.
An ICD is used when the patient is at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.
