Question 1

When should I see a cardiologist?

Accepted Answer

See a cardiologist when you have: chest pain or pressure on exertion, sudden breathlessness, palpitations lasting more than a few minutes, persistent high BP, or a family history of early heart disease (father / brother with MI before 55). For sudden severe chest pain, do NOT wait — call 102 for ambulance and go to casualty.

Question 2

Do you have a cath lab / can you do angioplasty?

Accepted Answer

We work with our network cath lab for primary angioplasty in MI cases. Diagnostic angiography is done in-house. For elective procedures we coordinate scheduling with the cath team.

Question 3

What is the cost of an ECHO at Asian Hospital?

Accepted Answer

ECHO (echocardiogram) is typically ₹1,200–1,800. TMT (treadmill stress test) is ₹1,500–2,000. ECG is ₹150–250. Exact rates on /rates or confirmed at reception.

Question 4

My BP is 150/100 — should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

A single reading isn’t enough to diagnose hypertension — we look for sustained readings over weeks. But 150/100 is meaningfully high; book a cardiology / general-medicine OPD this week to start workup. Don’t self-medicate.

Question 5

Can I get a routine heart check-up here?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our master health check-up packages include ECG + ECHO + lipid profile + cardiology consultation. Designed for asymptomatic adults > 35 or those with family history. See /packages for the full list.
