  • What should be my first few steps when experiencing chest pain?

    This is a broad question. There are many causes of chest pain. Most of them are not serious. But some can be very serious. There is no quick way to know whether chest pains are serious or not. But because they could be serious you should not take any chances. You should discuss your symptoms with your doctor or go to the Emergency Room. READ MORE

  • Is pleurisy a disease? How long does a pleuritic chest pain last?

    Pleurisy is technically inflammation of the lining of the lung. It can be caused by various diseases. Some are more serious than other. When we say "pleuritic chest pain" we mean pain that is similar to pleurisy but this could be caused by the heart, or the lung or the chest wall and is a broad term. No quick answers to this question. If you have chest pain of any kind you need to see your doctor to assess it further or to to the ER. READ MORE

  • Is heart palpitation a normal feeling or is it a medical concern?

    No quick answer here. Many people have "premature beats" which can cause palpitations and are generally not serious. But some palpitations are caused by serious rhythm disturbances. "Palpitations" just means you feel an irregular heart beat, but does not define what is causing it. Some palpitations reflect a serious concern and others do not. The best thing to do is talk to your doctor. READ MORE

  • What are the possible triggers of left side chest pain?

    Anyone can have heart disease. Even people with healthy habits. Family history is a contributing factor. It is impossible to tell what is causing your symptoms without further evaluation. You should see your doctor to discuss further and most likely should have a stress test and other assessment as needed. READ MORE

  • How can I manage chest pain arising due to coughing?

    Pain with coughing is usually due to muscle or tendon strain in the chest wall. However, it can also be due to a fracture of a rib which sometimes happens in people who have strenuous coughing. But you could also have infection around the lung or other serious problems. You should see your doctor to help you evaluate any chest pain to make sure its not something more serious. READ MORE

    YES: Mitral Valve prolapse can come and go under various circumstances. Especially if it is a mild case. There are certain maneuvers that can be done to help bring it out. The murmur is not always audible. READ MORE

  • Will my hip replacement put me at risk for heart disease?

    Nobody is EVER 100% safe. All surgeries entail risk. General Anesthesia puts stress on the heart. If you have underlying heart disease this can be silent under normal circumstances but when one has surgery the stress of the surgery can provoke a heart attack. The preoperative risk assessment is designed to give doctors an idea of how high a risk the patient has. But there is no way to be 100% certain of the risk. READ MORE

  • Abdominal aneurysm prevention

    Abdominal Aorta aneurysms are usually silent and not detectable until they rupture which is life threatening. The best way to prevent a ruptured aorta aneurysm is to find it before it ruptures. The best way to find out if one has an abdominal aorta aneurysm is to get an abdominal aorta ultrasound. READ MORE

  • Are there alternatives to a catheter ablation for atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia

    There are multiple medications that could help, but they are typically not able to control the rhythm disturbance completely. Ultimately, an ablation is the best long-term option. However, the condition could probably be managed with medications until your child is older and you are more comfortable with the idea of the procedure. READ MORE

  • What are the possible triggers of left side chest pain?

    Impossible to say from your limited description of symptoms. It could represent a cardiac condition, but not clear. The absence of risk factors does not preclude you are having a cardiac condition. You should see a cardiologist and likely have a stress test to assess further. READ MORE

  • I have symptomatic PVCs. When do they become dangerous?

    PVC"s are generally NOT dangerous. IF you have "ventricular tachycardia", that is a different thing and could be dangerous. You need to discuss with your cardiologist. READ MORE

A cardiologist is not the same as a cardiac surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. The cardiologist will carry out tests, and they may some do procedures, such as heart catheterizations, angioplasty, or inserting a pacemaker. Heart disease relates specifically to the heart, while cardiovascular disease affects the heart, the blood vessels, or both.
