Heart Failure Management – Dr. Abhishek Kumar, Cardiologist in Meerut

Comprehensive Care for Patients with Heart Failure

Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body’s needs. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can significantly improve quality of life and reduce the risk of complications. At Amaira Heart Care Centre, Dr. Abhishek Kumar (MBBS, MD Medicine, DNB Cardiology) provides advanced, evidence-based heart failure management tailored to each patient’s needs.

What Is Heart Failure?

Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working. Instead, it means the heart’s pumping ability is weakened or stiff, making it difficult to circulate blood effectively. This may occur due to:

  • Coronary artery disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Previous heart attack
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Valvular heart diseases
  • Lifestyle factors

Symptoms of Heart Failure

Patients may experience:

  • Shortness of breath (especially during exertion or lying down)
  • Swelling in legs, feet, or abdomen
  • Persistent fatigue or weakness
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Sudden weight gain due to fluid buildup
  • Persistent cough or wheezing
  • Difficulty performing daily activities

If you experience these symptoms, early evaluation by a cardiologist is essential.

Diagnosis at Amaira Heart Care Centre

Dr. Abhishek Kumar uses modern diagnostic tools to identify the type and severity of heart failure:

  • Echocardiography
  • ECG
  • Chest X-ray
  • Blood tests (BNP, kidney function, thyroid function)
  • Treadmill Test (TMT)
  • Coronary angiography if needed

These tests help in developing an accurate and individualized treatment plan.

Heart Failure Treatment Approach

Dr. Abhishek Kumar follows global treatment guidelines, focusing on slowing disease progression, relieving symptoms, and improving heart function.

1. Lifestyle Modifications
  • Low-salt diet
  • Weight management
  • Daily activity planning
  • Fluid intake monitoring
  • Avoiding alcohol and tobacco
2. Medications

Prescription medications commonly include:

  • ACE inhibitors / ARBs
  • Beta-blockers
  • Diuretics (to reduce fluid buildup)
  • Aldosterone antagonists
  • SGLT2 inhibitors
  • Blood thinners (if required)

Each patient receives a carefully adjusted medication plan.

3. Advanced Treatment Options

For severe or advanced heart failure, Dr. Kumar may recommend:

  • Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
  • Coronary angioplasty or bypass referral (if reduced blood flow is the cause)
  • Valve repair or replacement referrals when required
