When Should You Visit Our Cardiology OPD?

Even if you feel healthy, a consultation can be incredibly beneficial. We highly recommend a visit if you have:
1. A Family History of Heart Disease: Genetic predispositions are real. Knowing your risk factors is the first step toward prevention.

2. Symptoms like Chest Pain or Discomfort: Don't ignore a feeling of pressure, tightness, or pain in your chest, especially if it radiates to your arm, neck, or jaw.

3. Shortness of Breath: Feeling breathless during simple activities or even at rest can be a sign of a heart issue.

4. Irregular Heartbeats: Palpitations or a fluttering sensation in your chest should be checked by a professional.

5. High Blood Pressure or Cholesterol: These are often called "silent killers" because they have no obvious symptoms but significantly increase your risk of heart disease.

6. Diabetes: People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular problems.

7. Lifestyle Concerns: If you are a smoker, lead a sedentary life, or have a high-stress job, a heart health check-up is a must.. For more info visit us at

What is cardiac 2d Echo?

A 2D echocardiogram, also known as a cardiac 2D echo, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create a real-time, moving image of your heart.
The need for a 2D echo is to evaluate the structure and function of the heart. It is used to:
Assess heart size and shape
Check the pumping strength of the heart
Evaluate the functioning of the heart valves
Detect abnormalities such as congenital heart defects, blood clots, or tumors
Determine the cause of symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath. For more info visit us at

Yoga and Cardiovascular health

Recent studies and medical reviews continue to highlight the significant benefits of yoga for cardiac health. The practice is increasingly recognized as a valuable complementary therapy for both the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases.
Key takeaways from recent findings include:
* Stress Reduction: One of the most well-documented benefits of yoga is its ability to lower stress, which is a major risk factor for heart disease. Through deep breathing and meditation, yoga activates the body's "rest and digest" system, helping to reduce stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can otherwise narrow arteries and raise blood pressure.
* Improved Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Research shows that consistent yoga practice can lead to measurable improvements in key cardiac health indicators. These include a reduction in blood pressure, total cholesterol, and "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, as well as an improvement in blood glucose levels and waist circumference.
* Benefits for Specific Conditions: Recent studies presented at conferences like the European Society of Cardiology's Heart Failure congress suggest that yoga can be particularly beneficial for patients with specific cardiac issues. For example, it has been shown to improve symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people with heart failure. It may also help reduce the frequency of atrial fibrillation episodes.
* A Holistic Approach: Yoga's positive impact extends beyond physical postures. The combination of physical movement, breathing exercises (pranayama), and meditation not only strengthens the heart but also promotes overall well-being, better sleep, and a mindful approach to life that encourages healthier habits like improved diet and increased physical activity.
While the American Heart Association (AHA) and other health organizations continue to recommend a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, they also acknowledge the role of yoga as a beneficial form of physical activity that can be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle for its unique mind-body benefits.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL YOGA DAY!!
YOGA AND CARDIAC HEALTH
KARE YOG, RAHE NIROG!!
Yoga’s impact on cardiovascular health is multi-dimensional. Yoga may help lower heart disease risk as much as conventional exercise, such as brisk walking.
While not all yoga movements raise the heart rate to suggested aerobic levels, yoga has a positive impact on how efficiently blood moves. An asana practice can increase blood circulation and decrease levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in the body. There is significant reduction in basal heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure following 3 months of yoga training.
Yoga has also been shown to reduce cholesterol levels, thus reducing the interference of blood flow. Low-impact, meditative poses can also reduce potentially artery-clogging stress hormones
Yoga has three elements- exercise, breathing and meditation. Experts believe that the yoga asanas are the best way to keep it fit naturally. The heart is an involuntary muscle that contracts and relaxes around 70 times a minute within a healthy individual. With asanas, the expansion and contraction of the heart is made even faster and thorough.
It is suggested that people with high blood pressure should only practice certain asanas (postures), whilst acknowledging that there are other asanas that are not suitable for them. The yogic practices of meditation and pranayama (breathing exercises) are also particularly beneficial for people who suffer from high blood pressure.
A healthy circulatory system is important for a healthy living. Yoga exercise helps to prevent various circulatory ailments and illnesses such as high blood pressure, shallow breathing, muscle tension and coronary heart disease. Specific poses of Yoga directly benefit and enhance the circulation of blood and body fluids throughout the body. The different organs of the body are also positively impacted due to the effective flow circulation to the various parts.
COVID RELATED ANXIETY: Considering the current Pandemic, practicing Yoga will help manage the anxiety about the health in general population and also tackle COVID and post COVID depression and health issues.
In general, Yoga helps maintain internal milieu and external health; thus having positive impact on Cardiovascular health and loverall life.
SO GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOGA THE WAY OF LIFE!! For more info visit us at http://www.drakashmotgi.com/latest-update/happy-international-/16?utm_source=facebookpage

It is advised if a patient complains of breathlessness or chest pain.
How it helps?
1. It allows to evaluate any structural abnormalities of the heart and its valves.
2. It helps in finding the cause for irregular heartbeats.
3. It may help in diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
4. It detects the presence of blood clots in heart chambers.
5. It helps in finding if there is fluid in sac around heart which is called pericardial effusion.
6. It may show the presence of infection over heart valves i.e. vegetations.
