If you suspect a heart attack, call 02742-255540 and come in now. Do not wait for the pain to settle, and do not drive yourself.
The hospital does not run its own ambulance. Arrange local transport and call on the way so an ECG is ready the moment you arrive.
Warning signs worth acting on
Heart attacks do not always look like they do in films. Any of these, especially together, are reason enough to come in:
- Chest pain, pressure or tightness — often described as heaviness rather than sharp pain
- Pain spreading to the arm, shoulder, jaw, neck or back
- Breathlessness, with or without chest pain
- Cold sweating, nausea or vomiting alongside any of the above
- Sudden unexplained weakness or light-headedness
People with diabetes, and often women and older patients, can have a heart attack with little or no chest pain — sometimes only breathlessness, fatigue or discomfort in the upper abdomen. If something feels badly wrong, treat it as urgent even when the pain is mild.
What happens when you arrive
The point of coming in quickly is that the tests which tell you what is happening are here, rather than somewhere you would have to travel to next:
- ECG on site, to check the heart's electrical activity straight away
- Echocardiography and Echo Doppler, to look at how the heart muscle and valves are working
- Continuous cardiac monitoring in the 8-bed ICU
- Oxygen and ventilator support available if breathing is affected
- An in-house medical store, so treatment is not delayed hunting for medicines
If you need a procedure the hospital does not perform — angioplasty, stenting or cardiac surgery — the team stabilises you and arranges onward referral to a centre equipped for it. Establishing that quickly, and keeping you stable while it is arranged, is itself part of the treatment.
Ongoing cardiac and diabetic care
Not every cardiac problem is an emergency. The hospital also manages the conditions that quietly lead to one:
Blood pressure
Assessment and ongoing management of hypertension, the most common driver of cardiac risk.
Diabetes
Diabetes care alongside cardiac risk, since the two travel together and mask each other's symptoms.
Heart failure
Breathlessness and swelling assessed with echocardiography, then managed medically.
Rhythm problems
Palpitations and irregular heartbeat investigated by ECG, with monitoring where needed.
Care is led by Dr. Ambarish A. Panchasara, MBBS, MD (Medicine), Gujarat Medical Council registration G-48998, trained at B. J. Medical College, Ahmedabad. Consultations run 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week, in Gujarati, Hindi and English.
