Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Coronary Angiogram and when is it needed?
A minimally invasive test where a catheter and dye are used to visualize your coronary arteries, typically recommended when stress tests or chest pain suggest blockages.
How should I prepare for an ECG or Treadmill Test?
Both require light meals and comfortable clothing. Avoid caffeine before the test and bring your latest reports. These tests assess heart rhythm and fitness under stress.
What is Holter Monitoring and why is it important?
A 24–48-hour wearable ECG device that records continuous heart rhythms to detect intermittent arrhythmias often missed in short-term tests.
How does 24-hour blood pressure monitoring work?
A portable cuff records your blood pressure at intervals throughout the day and night, providing insight into hidden hypertension and guiding more accurate treatment.
Is CT Coronary Angiogram safe and non-invasive?
Yes. It uses CT imaging and contrast dye to non-invasively detect blockages. It’s often a first diagnostic step before considering invasive angiography.
What are Left Main and Bifurcation lesion angioplasties?
These are advanced PCI procedures targeting blockages in critical artery branches. They require specialized skills in stent placement and use of imaging for accuracy.
What are CTO interventions and how successful are they?
CTO stands for Chronic Total Occlusions—complete, long-term blockages. CTO PCI reopens these arteries, restoring blood flow and relieving symptoms with high success in expert hands.
What is a pacemaker and who needs one?
A small electronic device implanted under the skin to regulate slow or irregular heartbeats—ideal for patients experiencing fatigue, fainting, or bradycardia.
What is an AICD and how is it different from a pacemaker?
An AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) not only regulates slow rhythms but also delivers a shock if a life-threatening fast heart rhythm occurs.
How do I choose between ECG, Holter, or CT angiogram?
ECG: First-line rhythm check
Holter: For intermittent rhythm issues
CT Angiogram: To visualize blockages
Your doctor will recommend based on symptoms and initial test results.
