Stress ECHO Treatment in India

Vivaan Roy, a 52-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been active but noticed increasing fatigue and occasional chest tightness during his evening walks over the past three months. His father had a history of early-onset coronary artery disease. Concerned, Vivaan visited his primary care physician, who detected a slight murmur and referred him to a cardiologist. The cardiologist, noting his symptoms and family history, recommended a Stress ECHO to evaluate his heart's function and blood flow under exertion, ruling out blockages or valve issues. During the test, Vivaan walked on a treadmill while his heart was monitored via ultrasound. He found the physical challenge manageable but was anxious, watching the screen for any bad news. The procedure concluded without incident. The results showed mild, non-critical mitral valve regurgitation but no significant coronary artery disease. The cardiologist cleared him for continued exercise with monitoring. Emotionally, Vivaan moved from a state of fear and dread about a potential heart condition to immense relief and a proactive mindset. He now focuses on stress management and regular check-ups, feeling empowered about his heart health.
