Heart check-ups, ECG, echocardiography and cardiac follow-up.
The Cardiology Department at Apollo Poly Clinic provides specialized evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management of conditions affecting the heart and cardiovascular system. Our approach focuses on understanding each patient's symptoms, medical history, risk factors, and lifestyle to provide appropriate and personalized cardiac care.
Heart-related conditions can sometimes develop gradually without obvious symptoms, while others may present with chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or unusual fatigue. Early evaluation and regular monitoring can help identify cardiovascular problems and support timely management.
The department provides consultation and management for a broad range of cardiovascular concerns, including hypertension, chest pain, heart rhythm abnormalities, palpitations, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and other conditions affecting cardiovascular health. Patients with cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, smoking history, or a family history of heart disease can also seek specialist consultation and preventive guidance.
Cardiology consultations include clinical assessment, review of medical history, cardiovascular risk evaluation, interpretation of relevant investigations, treatment planning, and follow-up care. Where required, patients may be advised to undergo appropriate cardiac investigations or referred for additional specialized procedures and interventions.
The department also emphasizes preventive cardiology by helping patients understand their cardiovascular risk factors and make appropriate lifestyle and treatment decisions to protect long-term heart health.
Patients should consider cardiac evaluation when experiencing persistent or unexplained chest discomfort, shortness of breath, irregular or rapid heartbeat, dizziness, fainting, unusual fatigue, or swelling of the legs. Individuals with known cardiovascular disease or significant risk factors may also benefit from regular specialist follow-up.
See a cardiologist if you have chest discomfort on exertion, palpitations, breathlessness, fainting, or high blood pressure that is hard to control, or if heart disease runs in your family.
Severe or sudden chest pain can be a heart attack. Do not wait for an appointment: go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away.
