Cardiac Conditions We Treat

You should see a cardiologist if you experience chest pain or pressure, palpitations that last more than a few seconds, unexplained breathlessness, dizziness or fainting episodes, or swelling in your legs. You should also schedule a preventive cardiac check if you are over 40 with risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. At Heartwise Cardiology Clinic in Vashi, same-day appointments are usually available. Call +91 97695 17636 to book.

Many heart conditions can be managed effectively with medications and lifestyle changes alone — including hypertension, mild heart failure, stable angina, and well-controlled atrial fibrillation. Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) using ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, SGLT2 inhibitors, and statins has transformed outcomes for most cardiac patients. Surgery or catheter-based interventions (angioplasty, stenting, TAVR) are reserved for conditions that do not respond adequately to medical therapy or that present with advanced blockages or valve narrowing.

The most effective lifestyle changes include: following a Mediterranean or DASH diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats; engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week; maintaining a healthy BMI below 25 kg/m²; limiting salt intake below 5 g per day; avoiding smoking; and limiting alcohol to no more than 2 units per day. These changes can reduce cardiovascular risk by up to 80% when combined with optimal medical management of existing risk factors like hypertension and diabetes.
