Heart Attack During Exercise Causes
Dr Shiva Prasad’s cardiac centre is one of the best cardiac centres in Hyderabad. His philosophy is to provide the same cardiac care to his patients as those treated in the major European and North American centres. This well established cardiac centre offers evidence based treatment in a multidisciplinary approach with state of the art infrastructure. Each and every patient receives personalised care with empathy and dignity. This centre is equipped with facilities for ECG, 2D Echo, treadmill, angiogram, angioplasty (PTCA) and pacemakers. It is one of the few dedicated cardiac centres in Hyderabad equipped to offer evidence based treatment for heart attacks as per international standards.

Chief Interventional Cardiologist
Dr Shiva Prasad is a leading consultant interventional cardiologist who specialises in the treatment of heart attacks, primary angioplasty, complex coronary interventions and heart failure. Majority of the coronary procedures are done via radial approach.
Dr Shiva Prasad graduated from prestigious Osmania medical college in 2002. After graduation he decided to move to the United Kingdom for higher specialist medical training. After rotating in various university hospitals in the UK, he achieved MRCP in general medicine from Royal College of Physicians, UK.
Know MoreAn ECG or electrocardiogram is useful in measuring the electrical activity of the heart. This basic test result is helpful in assessing heart symptoms such as chest pain, breathing problems, suspected heart attack and fainting (syncope). ECG procedure is in clinical use for a long time and is very safe non invasive procedure.
A 2D echocardiogram is a cardiac imaging test using ultrasound. The images of 2D echo are extremely beneficial in viewing the chambers of heart, valves, and major blood vessels to identify if there are any abnormalities. Some of the measurements taken in 2D echo are size of the chambers, pumping function, thickness of the walls, tumors or clots (if any), pressure on the lungs, and birth defect in the heart.
Treadmill test also known as cardiac stress test is useful in understanding the ability of heart to respond to external stress/ exertion in a controlled clinical environment. The ECG measurements taken at maximum exertion are compared with at rest measurements to assess indirectly for the possibility of narrowed coronary arteries. The treadmill test is useful in patients with suspected coronary artery disease and also for assessing exercise-induced irregularity in heart beat. The treadmill test is generally safe in expert supervision.
Angiogram is used as an invasive imaging technique to view the blockages in the blood vessels (called as coronary arteries) on the surface of the heart. It is usually a day care procedure performed in the cath lab using a narrow tube called as catheter. An angiogram is helpful in the assessment of chest pains, angina and suspected heart attacks.
Dr Shiva Prasad’s cardiac centre is one of the few centres that offer radial artery procedures. We adopt latest technology and customize the treatment based on the patient’s medical condition for successful results. Some of the treatments provided:
Cardiac catheterization (cath) is an invasive procedure involving insertion of a catheter (a narrow tube) into the heart and major blood vessel to diagnose and treat any abnormalities. The procedure may either be performed by entering from the femoral artery (in the groin) or through the radial artery (in the wrist). However, the radial route holds promising with faster recovery.
A PCI is a minimally invasive cath lab procedure to open up the narrowing in the coronary artery and place a stent to ensure free blood flow. In angioplasty, a balloon is inflated at the blocked area to stretch the artery and push the plaque to the side in order to restore blood flow. The interventional cardiologist thoroughly studies the patient and the medical condition before deciding the need for these procedures.
