Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiovascular diseases encompass any disorder that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood or the flow of blood through arteries and veins. These include:

  • Coronary artery disease (blocked heart vessels)
  • Heart attacks (myocardial infarction)
  • Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)
  • Heart failure (weakened heart muscle)
  • Stroke and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes)
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries in limbs)

These conditions require prompt medical attention and continuous management to prevent complications.


Common Symptoms and Causes:

Symptoms may vary based on the type of cardiovascular disease, but commonly include:
  • Chest pain or pressure
  • Shortness of breath
  • Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
  • Fatigue or dizziness
  • Swelling in the legs or ankles
  • Numbness or weakness in limbs (in stroke)

Common causes and risk factors:
  • High blood pressure and high cholesterol
  • Smoking and excessive alcohol use
  • Sedentary lifestyle and obesity
  • Diabetes and metabolic syndrome
  • Family history of heart disease
  • Stress and poor diet

Treatment & Management:

Dr. Varun Deodhar uses a personalized, evidence-based approach to treat and manage cardiovascular conditions. Treatments include:

Medical Management:
  • Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar control
  • Anti-platelets and anticoagulants (to prevent clots)
  • Medications for heart rhythm control or heart failure
Emergency Interventions:
  • Immediate response for heart attack, stroke, or cardiac arrest
  • Coordination with cardiology teams for advanced interventions if needed
Monitoring & Diagnostic Services:
  • ECG, 2D Echo, blood tests, and risk screening
  • Continuous monitoring of vitals for high-risk patients
Rehabilitation & Recovery:
  • Post-cardiac event rehabilitation plans
  • Physical activity guidance, stress management, and counseling
Patient Education:
  • Teaching patients to recognize warning signs early
  • Promoting self-monitoring of blood pressure and lifestyle habits

Prevention & Lifestyle Care:

Preventing cardiovascular diseases is often achievable with the right guidance and lifestyle changes. Dr. Deodhar emphasizes:

  • Healthy eating habits with reduced salt, sugar, and saturated fats
  • Regular physical activity (at least 30 mins/day)
  • Stress management techniques
  • Smoking and alcohol cessation support
  • Regular health check-ups and screenings
  • Medication compliance and follow-up care
