BHOPAL: Take care of your heart and don’t limit yourself to traditional tests. In addition to regular testing, experts say it’s also important to be aware of the pathophysiology. Most of these tests are like Lp(A); cholesterol What is present in the bloodstream is not included in the routine tests performed. But it’s good for your heart to know.
“Sudden cardiac death occurs when the heart stops functioning within one to two minutes. By definition, death occurs within the first hour after symptoms appear because there is no time for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These cases are increasing at a very fast pace among the youth,” said Dr Rajiv Gupta, HoD of Cardiology, Gandhi Medical College (GMC).

Dr. Gupta points to abnormalities in the clotting system. Simply put, the mind has three layers. If he is obstructed in two layers, outer and inner, it will take enough time for symptoms to be recognized. “When the disease in the heart’s lining worsens, the formation of blood clots is rapidly stimulated. It deprives the body of its vasodilator function (reserve power for dealing with emergencies), which can lead to catastrophic consequences.” said Dr. Gupta.
Additionally, abnormal lipids (cholesterol) can impede blood flow and cause plaque to form on artery walls. Plaque is a buildup of fat, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the walls of arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
A blood test for lipoprotein (A) can diagnose heart conditions. It can measure abnormal deposits in the inner or middle layers of the heart.
Dr. Kislay Shrivastava, Assistant Professor, Department of Cardiology, AIIMS Bhopal. “Levels of Lp(A), elevated homocysteine, and hs-CRP testing (C-reactive protein high sensitivity) are new indicators of cardiac status that need to be understood.”
Various studies have shown that South Asians are more prone to heart disease than Westerners. Lipoproteins as independent risk factors (A) cardiovascular disease.
“The pathophysiology determines how plaque builds up in the heart’s arteries and affects blood flow. There are tests to determine risk,” Dr. Shrivastava said.
Genetic factors, endothelial function and dysfunction are associated with an increased risk of developing CAD. “If diabetes with high blood pressure is not controlled, the resulting health effects do not increase risk, but the implied effects are multiplied,” he added.
