Cardiac Treatments
Differentiating between a burning sensation in the chest due to heartburn or if it’s a persistent chest pain that needs immediate medical intervention is a dilemma often faced by most of us. Nonetheless, these symptoms need immediate medical attention to rule out any serious concerns.
Know When To Seek Medical Advice For Your Symptoms
Heartburn v.s. Heart Attack
Although severe heartburn and heart attack is difficult to tell apart, if you experience persistent chest pain then you need to seek immediate medical help. Heartburn is discomfort caused by digestive acid moving into the tube that carries food to the stomach. Heart attack on the other hand involves sudden, crushing pain in the pain followed by difficulty in breathing. A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops pumping blood around the body. It needs immediate medical intervention, failing which can result in fatality.

Angina
Symptoms of Angina are very similar to that of heart attack. Individuals experience chest tightness or discomfort. It is harder for the blood to go through the artery when you are experiencing angina. The heart does not get enough blood due to narrowed arteries of the heart. It causes the heart to pump blood more rapidly which results in heart beating harder and faster. This causes chest tightness and is a sign that your heart needs to rest.
Angina is caused due to narrowed arteries as against heart attack that deals with blocked arteries. Read More

During preliminary examination, it was found that carotid artery was heavily blocked. I contacted Dr Pavan immediately and he advised us to bring him to Bangalore. He performed Carotid Angioplasty and related procedures at a reasonable cost. He was available for consultation at all times and gave renewed confidence to our family members.Within a week, my uncle is back to normal and reported to work. Thank you Dr for giving my uncle a new lease of life. Touch of God. Namaste 🙏

** ** *** **** ******* *** **** ***********, a wonderful human being. I have consulted many doctors, but Dr. Pavan beats everyone with some distance. I always felt that something is not right with my heart, while in reality it’s functioning perfectly, and I am suffering from anxiety issues. I don’t remember how many times I have disturbed him asking for ECG interpretations – early morning, late nights , sundays etc etc… He has been so understanding, from cardiac issue, as well as my anxiety issues – don’t have words to explain. Yesterday my dad was advised to get admitted due to high heart rate, I immediately called him, and he reached the hospital asap, did all the tests, and waited till late till such time my dad got a covid bed (as his test came out +ve). I don’t think there can be a better combination of knowledge, humility, selflessness , understanding and on and on.. than Dr. Pavan! Hats of to you sir!!

Consulted Dr Pavan Rasalkar for palpitations which was not resolving for a long time. Had consulted many cardiologist including some of the most seniors ones but to no avail. Had got all the possible tests multiple times but no one could identify my problem. Everyone told its anxiety and dismissed it . Dr Pavan diagnosed it as a case of POTS which he told is a very rare condition and treated me accordingly and now I am lot lot better. Highly recommmend Dr Pavan for any cardiology related issues especially rare and complicated conditions.
