тЭдя╕П Heart Failure or Cardiac Arrest? Know the Warning Signs.

Not every heart problem happens without warning. Your body may give important signals before a serious cardiac event.

тЪая╕П Heart failure usually develops gradually, while cardiac arrest is a sudden medical emergency. Recognizing early warning signs and seeking timely medical care can make a critical difference.

Don't ignore what your heart is trying to tell you.

Some coronary blockages are heavily calcified, making routine angioplasty challenging. In selected cases, advanced techniques like Rotablation and Laser Assisted Angioplasty may help prepare the artery for successful treatment.

In this video, Dr. Viveka Kumar explains when these technologies are considered and why every heart treatment plan needs a personalised approach.

Building a heart-healthy plate is simpler than it sounds: fill a quarter with lean proteins like fish, eggs, paneer, and lentils; another quarter with colorful, fibre-rich vegetables; a section with fresh seasonal fruits for natural sweetness and antioxidants; and round it off with healthy fats from nuts, seeds, and olive oil.

This balanced combination supports healthy cholesterol levels, steady energy, and long-term cardiovascular wellness.

As the saying goes, small healthy choices today mean a stronger heart tomorrow.

Start with your next meal swap, add colour, and give your heart what it deserves. For personalised heart health guidance, connect with our specialists at Max Hospital, Saket.

We often assume that breathlessness while walking or getting tired easily is a normal part of growing older. However, in some cases, these symptoms may indicate **Aortic Valve Stenosis**, a condition in which the heart's aortic valve becomes narrowed.

When the valve becomes narrow, the heart has to work harder to pump blood throughout the body. That's why it's important not to ignore these symptoms and to undergo a timely, detailed heart evaluation.

In this video, **Dr. Viveka Kumar** explains Aortic Valve Stenosis and discusses treatment options such as **TAVI**, which may be suitable for selected patients after proper medical evaluation.
