Heart Care

Heart Care is one of the most crucial and neglected facet of Health Care, often delayed and kept aside for later turns out to be a life taking situation! At Jehangir, we aim to deliver the best and technologically advanced treatments when it comes to your heart. Cardiovascular disease includes a number of conditions affecting the structures or function of the heart. Research shows that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among men in the India it is also the leading cause of hospitalization in people older than 65. Hence it is important to learn about your heart to help prevent heart disease. The term "heart failure" can be frightening. It does not mean the heart has "failed" or stopped working. It means the heart does not pump as well as it should. This then leads to salt and water retention, causing swelling and shortness of breath. The swelling and shortness of breath are the primary symptoms of heart failure. At Jehangir Hospital we aim to understand the step-by-step process leading to a heart attack thereby fully understanding the major risk factors concerned. The main factors that might lead to heart problems are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle. Stress is also believed to raise the risk, and exertion and excitement can act as triggers for an attack. Thus, we aim to provide the best round the clock Heart Care services in Pune that is dedicated to give you an opportunity to live a healthier life!
