The right treatment depends on the patient's symptoms, medical history, risk factors, diagnostic findings, and overall health.

Common Heart Conditions Treated in Chennai

Cardiology teams manage a wide range of cardiovascular conditions. Some of the commonly treated conditions include:

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. It may cause chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, or other symptoms.

Depending on the severity, treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medication, angioplasty, stent placement, or cardiac surgery.

Heart Attack

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to part of the heart muscle becomes blocked. It requires immediate medical attention.

Symptoms can include chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, unusual fatigue, or pain that spreads to the arm, shoulder, back, neck, or jaw.

Emergency treatment may involve medicines and procedures such as primary PCI to restore blood flow when appropriate. Prashanth Hospitals provides 24/7 emergency cardiac support.

High Blood Pressure

Hypertension can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications. Regular blood pressure monitoring and appropriate treatment can help reduce long-term risks.

Arrhythmias

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms. They may cause palpitations, dizziness, weakness, fainting, or shortness of breath.

Depending on the type and severity of the rhythm disorder, treatment may include medication, monitoring, catheter-based procedures, pacemakers, ICDs, or other interventions.

Heart Failure

Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively enough to meet the body's needs. Symptoms can include breathlessness, swelling of the legs, fatigue, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity and may include medication, lifestyle changes, device therapy, and other interventions.
