    Heart failure

    Understanding Heart Failure

    Heart failure (congestive heart failure) occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue, breathlessness, and fluid retention. It does not mean the heart has stopped, but that it needs timely medical attention.

    At Moolchand Hospital, among the best heart hospitals in Delhi, our superb physicians use advanced diagnostics and evidence-based therapies to help patients live longer, healthier lives.

    Causes of Heart Failure

    • Coronary artery disease and previous heart attack

    • Long-term high blood pressure (hypertension)

    • Diabetes and obesity

    • Heart valve disease or congenital defects

    • Cardiomyopathy, infection, or thyroid disorders

    Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

    • Shortness of breath (especially when lying flat)

    • Swelling of legs, ankles, or abdomen

    • Fatigue or weakness

    • Persistent cough or wheezing

    • Rapid or irregular heartbeat

    • Sudden weight gain from fluid retention

    If these occur, search heart specialist near me or visit the Moolchand Heart Centre for prompt evaluation.

    It Was A Relief To Be At Moolchand Hospital!

    It was a relief to be at Moolchand Hospital!

    After being fed up by ineffective treatments at various hospitals, it was a relief to be at Moolchand and start my prostrate gland treatment by a capable urologist, Dr. Saurabh Mishra. To determine the health of my prostate and look for signs of cancer, my investigative tests were done and I was suggested to undergo a minimally invasive prostate surgery. Extremely hopeful, I underwent the surgery and I am completely fine now. At the time of the surgery and even after it, Dr. Saurabh gave me constant support and kept me relaxed. I had no fears or apprehensions about my treatment plan.

    My hope is that men realize they can be diagnosed with prostate cancer at a younger age and early detection is the key to treating and beating this disease. So, I advice my male friends to get their PSA levels checked at Moolchand and if there is anything alarming, then we always have Dr. Saurabh. Certainly, who wouldn’t want to go to the surgeon who is a pioneer in urologic surgeries and at the forefront of prostate cancer research in India!
