Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Coronary Artery Disease is the most common form of heart disease and a leading cause of heart attacks worldwide. It occurs when plaque — a build-up of cholesterol, fat, and calcium — narrows or blocks the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.

Symptoms: Chest pain or tightness (angina), shortness of breath, fatigue, and in severe cases, heart attack.

Causes: High cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, sedentary lifestyle, and family history.

Treatment Approach: Dr. Utagi offers a comprehensive CAD management plan including lifestyle counselling, medications, and advanced interventional procedures such as coronary angioplasty (PCI) and stenting when required — all performed with precision at Fortis Hospital.

Heart Failure

Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped — it means the heart is not pumping blood as efficiently as it should. This can develop gradually and, without proper management, significantly affects quality of life and longevity.

Symptoms: Breathlessness (especially when lying flat), ankle swelling, rapid weight gain, chronic fatigue, and reduced exercise tolerance.

Causes: Coronary artery disease, long-standing hypertension, cardiomyopathy, or previous heart attacks.

Treatment Approach: Dr. Utagi provides structured heart failure management using the latest guideline-directed medical therapies, fluid management, cardiac device assessment, and close monitoring — helping patients live fuller, more active lives.

Arrhythmia (Irregular Heartbeat)

Arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythms — the heart may beat too fast, too slow, or erratically. Some arrhythmias are harmless; others can increase the risk of stroke or sudden cardiac arrest and require prompt medical attention.

Symptoms: Palpitations, fluttering in the chest, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or shortness of breath.

Causes: Electrolyte imbalances, thyroid disorders, sleep apnoea, structural heart disease, or unknown triggers.

Treatment Approach: Using advanced diagnostic tools including ECG, Holter monitoring, and echocardiography, Dr. Utagi accurately identifies the type of arrhythmia and tailors treatment — from medications to device-based therapies.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Often called the 'silent killer', high blood pressure rarely causes noticeable symptoms but silently damages the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels. Left untreated, it dramatically increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.

Symptoms: Most people have no symptoms. In severe cases: headaches, blurred vision, nosebleeds, or shortness of breath.

Causes: Stress, excess salt intake, obesity, lack of exercise, kidney disease, genetics, and certain medications.

Treatment Approach: Dr. Utagi provides comprehensive hypertension management combining lifestyle modification, evidence-based antihypertensive medications, and regular blood pressure monitoring to protect your heart and organs long-term.

Heart Valve Disease

The heart has four valves that regulate blood flow through its chambers. When a valve becomes narrowed (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), the heart must work harder, eventually leading to symptoms and heart failure if untreated.

Symptoms: Fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, swollen ankles, and abnormal heart murmur detected during examination.

Causes: Rheumatic fever, aging, congenital defects, calcium build-up, or infections such as endocarditis.

Treatment Approach: Through detailed echocardiography, Dr. Utagi accurately assesses valve function and severity, guiding appropriate medical management or coordinating surgical or transcatheter valve interventions when needed.
