Best Cardiologist in Ahmedabad
Choosing a cardiologist for chest pain, blocked arteries or rhythm problems — and how the Health1 cath lab is set up.
When to see a cardiologist
Chest pain or tightness on exertion, breathlessness that is new or worsening, palpitations, blackouts, or a strong family history of early heart disease all warrant assessment. Do not wait for pain to become severe — angina often presents as pressure, heaviness or jaw and arm discomfort rather than classic pain.
If chest pain is severe, lasts more than a few minutes, or comes with sweating and breathlessness, treat it as an emergency and call immediately rather than booking an appointment.

Common questions
When should I see a cardiologist?
See a cardiologist for chest pain or tightness on exertion, new breathlessness, palpitations, blackouts, or a strong family history of early heart disease.
Is angioplasty available 24×7 at Health1?
Yes. The Shilaj cath lab runs round the clock for emergency angiography and primary angioplasty.
What is the difference between angiography and angioplasty?
Angiography is the diagnostic scan that shows where arteries are narrowed. Angioplasty is the treatment that opens the narrowing, usually with a stent.
Is cardiac treatment covered under PMJAY?
Health1 accepts PMJAY along with CGHS, ECHS and major insurers. Coverage depends on the specific package — confirm with our insurance desk.
What should I bring to a cardiology appointment?
Bring any previous ECGs, echo or angiography reports, recent blood tests including lipids, and a list of your current medicines.
