Heart Disease

In SANJIVANI SPECIALTY CLINIC, Dr Pushkar Pradip Shah, Consultant Physician and Diabetologist, is concerned with critical management and prevention of Heart Disease (Cardiovascular Disease) under the orientation of Internal Medicine. Because chronic diseases, particularly diabetes and hypertension, affect the heart and blood vessels, we employ a holistic and preventive approach to safeguard your heart and cardiovascular system.

The Interconnected Risk

The heart is usually based on some underlying conditions that we tend to specialise in managing:

• Diabetes and the Heart:Diabetes increases the hardening and narrowing of the blood vessels (atherosclerosis), and this is the leading cause of heart attack and stroke. Heart protection is controlling blood sugar.
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): When high pressure remains uncontrolled, it overworks the heart muscle, causing it to enlarge and ultimately break down. We firmly control our blood pressure to lower it.
• Cholesterol and Lipids: Too much LDL (bad) cholesterol is the direct cause of a coronary blockage. We treat with extensive lipid control.

Our Preventive Heart Health Services

• Risk Assessment: Extensive heart attack, stroke assessment of your risk profile by your personal medical history, and whether you are diabetic or not, by measuring your blood pressure and cholesterol level today.
• Diagnostic Screening: The clinician should use necessary in-clinic equipment, such as an ECG (Electrocardiogram), to examine for the possible presence of heart strain or irregularities.
• Lifestyle Change: Custom-made Interventions that not only target heart-friendly diets and nutrition but also address the issue of weight and provide specific instructions on how to exercise and work your heart to its benefit safely.
• Medical Management: To provide the appropriate medication (anti-hypertension drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs like statins, and antiplatelet) and closely monitor it to ensure the best functioning of your heart and blood vessels.
