Cardiologist in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai
The Cardiology department at Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, is led by DM-qualified cardiologists who diagnose and treat heart problems such as chest pain, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat and heart failure. Heart tests including 2D echo, ECG, TMT and Holter monitoring are done in the hospital, and a 24/7 emergency team gives thrombolysis for heart attacks.
When should you see a cardiologist?
See a cardiologist if you notice any of these, or if your physician refers you:
- Chest pain, pressure or tightness, especially on walking or climbing stairs
- Breathlessness that is new or getting worse
- A racing, pounding or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
- Dizziness or fainting
- Swelling of the feet and ankles
- High blood pressure that is hard to control

Chest pain that lasts more than a few minutes, spreads to the arm, jaw or back, or comes with sweating or breathlessness may be a heart attack. Do not book an OPD appointment. Call +91 85912 35064 or 108, or go to the 24/7 Emergency department now. |

Cardiac emergencies and thrombolysis
Apex runs a 24/7 emergency department that treats heart attacks. When suitable, the team gives thrombolysis, a clot-dissolving medicine that can reopen a blocked heart artery, and the patient is then monitored in the ICCU. Learn more about heart attack emergency treatment.
If you need angiography, angioplasty or a pacemaker
Some patients need further procedures, such as coronary angiography to look for blockages, angioplasty to open them, or a pacemaker for a slow heart rhythm. Your cardiologist will explain whether you need one, why, and where and how it will be done. [HOSPITAL TO VERIFY: cath lab availability. If in-house, create the held pages and link them here]
