Frequently asked questions

Open the Appointment page, choose a date and an available time slot, then fill in your name, phone number and the reason for your visit. After you submit, you will see a booking ID. Note it down or take a screenshot. The clinic will contact you to confirm the appointment.

Go to the My bookings page and enter your booking ID along with the phone number you used while booking. You can see the current status of your appointment there and cancel it if your plans change. Please cancel early so that the slot can be given to another patient.

Yes. On Android, tap the Install app button when it appears on the site. On iPhone, open the site in Safari, tap the Share button and choose Add to Home Screen. The app then opens from your home screen like any other app, and your BP diary and saved bookings stay on your phone.

Bring all your old heart reports: ECGs, echo, TMT, any angiography CD and report, and discharge summaries from earlier hospital stays. Also bring a list of the medicines you take now, or the strips themselves, and your home BP and sugar records. These help the doctor understand your history and may avoid repeat tests.

Book your appointment online first and keep the booking ID. Collect all your reports, CDs and the current medicine list in one folder. Before you start travelling, call the clinic to confirm your appointment, so that you do not make a long journey for nothing if the schedule has changed.

You can talk to the doctor in English, Marathi, Hindi, Malayalam or Gujarati. Speak in whichever language you are most comfortable with, so that you can describe your symptoms clearly and understand the advice fully. Family members are welcome to join the conversation and ask questions.

Angiography is done under local anaesthesia at the wrist or groin, and you stay awake throughout. Most people feel a small prick when the anaesthetic is given and then a sense of pressure rather than pain. Some feel a brief warm feeling when the dye is injected. Tell the team at once if you feel discomfort.

No. Some narrowings do not limit blood flow enough to need a stent, and many people with stable angina do well with medicines and lifestyle changes. Tests such as FFR or imaging like IVUS and OCT can help decide. For some, bypass surgery may be the better option. The choice depends on your reports and overall health.

When angioplasty is done through the wrist (radial route), most people can sit up and walk within a few hours, because the leg does not need to be kept still. A tight band on the wrist is loosened step by step. Exactly when you can get up depends on your condition, so follow your doctor's advice.

Yes, using a mobile phone is generally safe with a pacemaker. As a precaution, keep the phone about 15 cm away from the device. Hold it to the ear on the opposite side, and do not carry it in a shirt pocket over the pacemaker. Your cardiologist can tell you about any limits specific to your device.

A heart attack happens when an artery feeding the heart is blocked; the person is usually awake and has chest pain or discomfort. In cardiac arrest the heart suddenly stops pumping effectively; the person collapses and is not breathing normally. For a heart attack, call 108. For cardiac arrest, call 108 and start hands-only CPR at once.

Call 108 at once if chest pain, pressure or heaviness lasts more than a few minutes or keeps coming back, especially with sweating, breathlessness, nausea, dizziness, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw or back. Do not drive yourself and do not wait for it to settle. It is safer to be checked and find nothing serious.
