Heart Failure Management: Expert Care for a Stronger Heart
Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart cannot pump blood efficiently, leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. While it is a serious condition, with proper management and medical care, individuals can lead healthier and more active lives.
Dr. Vineet Bansal, a renowned cardiologist at Anand Hospital, Garh Road, Meerut, specializes in advanced heart failure management, providing patients with personalized treatment plans to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life.
What Causes Heart Failure?
Heart failure often develops due to underlying heart conditions that weaken or damage the heart over time. Common causes include:
- ✔ Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Blockages in heart arteries reducing blood supply.
- ✔ Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Puts extra strain on the heart.
- ✔ Heart Attack: Causes damage to the heart muscle.
- ✔ Valvular Heart Disease : Malfunctioning heart valves affect blood flow.
- ✔ Cardiomyopathy : Weakening of the heart muscle.
- ✔ Diabetes & Obesity : Increase the risk of heart complications.
- ✔ V Lifestyle Factors : Excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise./li>
Symptoms of Heart Failure
The symptoms of heart failure can gradually worsen over time. Common signs include:
- Shortness of breath: Especially during physical activity or while lying down.
- Swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet: Due to fluid buildup.
- Fatigue and weakness: Resulting from insufficient oxygen-rich blood circulation.
- Persistent cough or wheezing : Often due to fluid buildup in the lungs.
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat: The heart tries to compensate for its reduced function.
- Sudden weight gain: Due to fluid retention.
Diagnosis and Advanced Treatment by Dr. Vineet Bansal
Dr. Bansal employs cutting-edge diagnostic tools to accurately assess heart failure, including:
- ✔ Echocardiography (ECHO) – Evaluates heart function and pumping efficiency./li>
- ✔ Electrocardiogram (ECG) – Detects abnormal heart rhythms.
- ✔ Cardiac MRI & CT Scans – Provides detailed heart imaging.
- ✔ Blood Tests – Measures biomarkers like BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide) for heart failure detection.
