Basic Info | What We Treat
We Help You Understand, Treat, & Manage Heart Conditions Early
Heart-related conditions often develop silently and may not show clear symptoms in the early stages. Many people ignore warning signs like high blood pressure, chest discomfort, or breathlessness until they become serious.
At Dr Ravikant Patil’s practice, we focus on early diagnosis, accurate evaluation, and personalised treatment planning to help patients manage heart conditions safely and confidently.
01.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
High blood pressure is one of the most common and dangerous heart risk factors. It often develops without symptoms but can silently damage the heart, brain, and kidneys if left untreated.
We help identify the cause of hypertension early and guide patients with lifestyle advice, regular monitoring, and treatment plans aimed at long-term heart protection.
02.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
Coronary artery disease occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart become narrowed due to plaque buildup. This can reduce blood flow to the heart and increase the risk of chest pain and heart attack.
Our approach focuses on early detection, risk assessment, and timely intervention to prevent disease progression and support heart health.
03.
Chest Pain & Breathlessness
Chest pain and breathlessness are important warning signs that should never be ignored. These symptoms may indicate reduced blood supply to the heart or other underlying cardiac conditions.
We carefully evaluate these symptoms to identify their cause and ensure timely treatment, helping prevent serious cardiac complications.
04.
Heart Attack Risk Assessment
Many individuals are at risk of heart attack without realising it. Factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, stress, obesity, and family history significantly increase risk.
We provide structured heart attack risk assessment to identify early warning signs and hidden risk factors. Based on individual risk profiles, we guide patients toward preventive strategies, lifestyle changes, and appropriate medical care to reduce the likelihood of future cardiac events.
05.
Irregular Heartbeat (Arrhythmia)
An irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, occurs when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. While some arrhythmias are harmless, others can cause dizziness, palpitations, breathlessness, or increase the risk of stroke and heart failure.
We assess heart rhythm disorders using clinical evaluation and diagnostic monitoring. Management is tailored to the type and severity of arrhythmia, focusing on symptom control, risk reduction, and maintaining a stable heart rhythm.
06.
High Cholesterol
High cholesterol contributes to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack. Many people with high cholesterol have no symptoms until complications occur.
We evaluate cholesterol levels as part of a comprehensive cardiac risk assessment and guide patients on lifestyle modification, dietary changes, and medical treatment when necessary. The goal is to reduce cardiovascular risk and support long-term heart health.
Heart Care
Across all conditions we treat, our focus remains on:
- Early diagnosis to detect risks before complications arise
- Accurate evaluation using appropriate diagnostic methods
- Personalised treatment planning tailored to each patient’s health profile
- Clear communication so patients understand their condition and care plan
This approach supports both treatment and long-term cardiac longevity, helping patients take control of their heart health with confidence.
Frequently Ask Questions
By Patients
1. When should I see a cardiologist?
You should consult a cardiologist if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. Individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease should also consider regular heart check-ups even if they feel well.
2. Can high blood pressure be controlled without symptoms?
Yes. High blood pressure often has no visible symptoms, which is why it is known as a “silent condition.” Regular monitoring, lifestyle changes, and timely medical guidance can help control blood pressure and significantly reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
3. Is chest pain always related to the heart?
Not all chest pain is caused by heart problems, but it should never be ignored. Some types of chest pain may be due to muscle strain, acidity, or anxiety, while others may indicate reduced blood flow to the heart. Proper evaluation helps identify the cause and ensures safe treatment.
4. What is coronary artery disease and is it treatable?
Coronary artery disease occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed due to plaque buildup. It is treatable when detected early through lifestyle modification, medications, and, in some cases, interventional procedures. Early diagnosis plays a key role in preventing heart attacks.
5. How do I know if I am at risk of a heart attack?
Risk factors for heart attack include high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, stress, sedentary lifestyle, and family history of heart disease. A structured heart risk assessment helps identify your individual risk and guides preventive care.
6. Do I need a heart check-up even if I feel healthy?
Yes. Many heart conditions develop silently without early symptoms. Preventive heart check-ups help detect risk factors early and allow timely intervention, especially for people above 35 years of age or those with lifestyle-related risks.
7. Can lifestyle changes really improve heart health?
Absolutely. Regular physical activity, healthy eating, stress management, good sleep, and avoiding smoking can significantly reduce heart disease risk. When combined with medical guidance, lifestyle changes play a powerful role in long-term heart health.
8. How do I choose the right heart test or check-up?
The type of heart test depends on your symptoms, age, medical history, and risk factors. A consultation helps determine which evaluations are necessary, avoiding unnecessary tests while ensuring accurate diagnosis.
