1. What is angioplasty and when is it needed?

Angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries to restore blood flow to the heart. It is typically recommended for patients with coronary artery disease or those at risk of a heart attack due to clogged arteries.

2. How long does an echocardiogram take?

An echocardiogram usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. It’s a painless procedure, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after.

3. Is an ECG the same as a stress test?

No, an ECG records your heart’s electrical activity while you’re at rest. A stress test involves physical exertion (usually on a treadmill) to evaluate how your heart performs under stress.

4. What is the difference between a regular ECG and Holter monitoring?

A regular ECG captures a brief snapshot of your heart’s electrical activity. Holter monitoring, on the other hand, records your heart’s activity continuously for 24-48 hours, providing a more comprehensive look at irregular heart rhythms.

5. How can I prevent heart disease?

Prevention starts with healthy lifestyle choices such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. Regular check-ups with your cardiologist can also help detect early signs of heart disease.
