Angel Verma, a 58-year-old retired school...
Angel Verma, a 58-year-old retired school teacher, had always been active but noticed increasing fatigue and occasional dizziness over the past six months. Her family history of heart disease, with her father passing from a heart attack at 65, weighed on her mind. She began experiencing shortness of breath while climbing stairs, a task that was once effortless. During a routine check-up, her primary care physician, concerned by her symptoms and family history, recommended she see a cardiologist. The cardiologist, Dr. Rao, listened empathetically to Angel's fears and ordered a Cardiac Profile Test to get a comprehensive picture of her heart health. The blood draw was quick, but the waiting period for results was filled with anxiety, as Angel worried she might have to give up her independence. The results showed elevated cholesterol and borderline high triglycerides, but her heart function markers were normal. Dr. Rao explained this was a crucial early warning. With a tailored plan of dietary changes, light exercise, and medication, Angel felt a profound sense of relief and control. Her emotional journey shifted from fear of a looming hereditary fate to empowerment, knowing she had caught potential issues early and could actively protect her health.
