Heart test
The number of patients is increasing rapidly. Cases of heart attack, and heart failure are on the rise. Bad lifestyle, wrong eating habits are the reasons for increasing heart diseases. Now due to all these things the cases of heart attacks are also increasing. Heart attacks are also happening in the 20s to 30s. In many cases, the patient even dies.
Doctors say that people lack knowledge about heart diseases and their prevention. Most of the people do not know what kind of tests should be done for the heart and which test can detect a blockage in the heart?
We spoke to experts to find out the answers to these questions.
Dr. Ajit Jain in the Cardiology Department of Delhi's Rajiv Gandhi Hospital explains that a heart attack occurs due to a blockage in the heart. Timely detection of heart blockage is essential to avoid this. The best test to check for blockage is CT angiography. This test accurately identifies the blockage, although most people do this test when they are having a heart attack, but should not.
What is this test?
Dr. Ajith explains that in angiography, the blockage in the heart is identified with the help of CT scanner and computer. This is a simple test in which the patient feels no pain and identifies an obstruction.
Lipid profile trend increased
Dr. Ajith says that nowadays there is an increased trend among people to get lipid profile test done. It is good that this test gives information about cholesterol. If cholesterol increases, it can be corrected by taking timely medicines and eating healthy food. But some people should have an angiography done in addition to the lipid profile.
Angiography of these people must be done
– Whose cholesterol is above 250
– There is pain in the chest
– Difficulty in breathing
– Someone in the family has heart disease
– Blood pressure is increased
– Heaviness is felt in the chest
– Timely test can save lives
According to Dr. Ajith, if one is noticing these symptoms and experiencing these problems together, one should definitely go to the hospital immediately. Heart attacks can be prevented with timely recognition and treatment of symptoms.
