Heart Check-up & Preventive Cardiology in Jammu

– Dr. Swati Mahajan (Fortis Escorts, Delhi)

Why Heart Checkups Are Essential in Jammu

Heart disease is often silent until a major event like a heart attack or stroke. In Jammu, risk factors such as high BP, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, and stress are common.

Regular heart checkups help detect problems early, when they are most treatable.

Dr. Swati Mahajan strongly recommends preventive cardiology for every adult, especially those above 40 or with a family history of heart disease.
