Chest pain can be very deceptive. It is a subjective discomfort experienced by the individual, whichmay be of cardiac or non-cardiac origin. In short, the safest course is to always assume that it is cardiac in origin. Crushing chest pain is the most obvious symptoms, but not all heart attacks begin with it. In fact, some heart attacks cause no symptoms at all. This is more common in people who have diabetes. Sometimes there may be mild chest pain and discomfort that can occur while one is doing some activity or at rest. Depending on one’s age, gender and other medical conditions, symptoms may be more or less severe. Chest discomfort that feels like pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain in the centre of your chest; that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away ...

CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD)

If you or a member of your family has been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD), you may have questions about the disease and its treatment, especially if your doctor has recommended angioplasty followed by Implantation of a drug eluting coronary stent. In this blog I will answers some of the questions patients with coronary artery Disease often ask. Angioplasty: A balloon procedure to open an obstruction or narrowing of a blood vessel. Also known as precutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Stent: An expandable, slotted metal tube, inserted into a vessel. A stent acts as a scaffold to provide structural support for a vessel. A drug-eluting stent allows  for the active release of that particular drug at the stent implantation site. Atherosclerosis:  A disease process in which fatty substances (plaque), such as cholesterol, are deposited on the inner lining of blood vessels. Angina (Pectoris): Chest discomfort, pain, ...

Pacemaker

What Is a Pacemaker A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. Pacemakers are used to treat Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. A heartbeat that's too fast is called tachycardia .A heartbeat that's too slow is called bradycardia. During an arrhythmia, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. This can cause symptoms such as fatigue (tiredness), shortness of breath, or fainting. Severe arrhythmias can damage the body's vital organs and may even cause loss of consciousness or death. A pacemaker can relieve some arrhythmia symptoms, such as fatigue and fainting. A pacemaker also can help a person who has abnormal heart rhythms resume a more active lifestyle. Understanding the Heart's Elec...
