When the Heart Needs Extra Care, Right From Birth

Congenital heart disease (CHD) means a structural heart problem present from birth. It's one of the most common types of birth defects — yet with modern paediatric cardiac care, most affected children go on to live full, active lives. Awareness and early diagnosis are the first steps toward the best outcome.

Dr. Afroza Firdous, Cardiac Surgeon (Kolkata), specialises in paediatric and adult cardiac care.

Cholesterol: The Good, The Bad

Not all cholesterol is bad. LDL ('bad' cholesterol) can build up in artery walls and narrow blood flow, while HDL ('good' cholesterol) helps clear it away. A diet low in trans fats, combined with regular exercise, helps keep this balance healthy. Ask your doctor about a lipid profile test if you haven't had one recently.

A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest, but they are medically different emergencies, both requiring immediate professional help.

Don't Ignore These Signs ðŸšĻ

A heart attack doesn't always look like the movies. Watch for chest discomfort or pressure, pain spreading to the arm/jaw/back, shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, or unusual fatigue. Women may experience subtler symptoms like fatigue or indigestion. If you or someone nearby has these symptoms, call emergency services immediately — every minute matters.
