ABOUT DR. MAYUR JAIN
MBBS, MD , DM Cardiology (Gold medalist), FACC (USA)
Dr. Mayur Jain is an interventional cardiologist who is very good at preventive cardiology!! A rarity !
Most important skill that the doctor thinks he has is ‘he knows where to stop!’ He is known for his genuine advice and exceptionally fine skills at procedures avoiding most of the complications. His ability to handle some of the most complicated cases at a very early stage proves that. He knows his subject to the very depth but at the same time can make things really simple for the patient and relatives to understand. Patients tend to be very comfortable with him, as he can communicate very well in Hindi, Marathi, Gujrati, English and Marwadi.
A Cardiologist consultation is very important today. Healthy heart is a key to healthy life. Today many people are suffering from cardiac problems and high blood pressure due to lifestyle changes. The number of cardiac patients is increasing rapidly.During the consultation, cardiologist evaluates past medical history, performs some physical examination and tests to assess the risk of developing heart diseases. Early diagnosis helps to minimize the complications in future. 
2D Echocardiography or 2D Echo is a heart test in which ultrasound technique is used to take pictures of heart. It shows a cross sectional view of the beating heart, chambers, valves and the major blood vessels of heart. Doppler is a special element of 2D Echo test that assesses blood flow in the heart.
Stress test is also known as Exercise test or treadmill test. Many times heart patients have normal ECG. This is because the ECGs are taken at rest when the heart is beating at its lowest rate. Many people feel pain in the chest only during some activities such as walking, running and climbing. When person perform any activity, the rate of heart beats increases. Hence the exercise stress test (TMT) is more suitable than normal ECG test to detect the exact heart problems. 
A Holter monitor is a small and battery-operated portable device which is used to record heart’s activity (ECG) such as heart rate and heart rhythm continuously for 24 to 48 hours. The patient has to wear Holter Monitoring device while performing daily activities. This device has wires with electrodes which are attached to the skin. It records ECG as patient performs normal activity. Holter monitor also records various ECG intervals and irregular heartbeats. This testing is also called ambulatory electrocardiography. It is a vital tool for diagnosis of abnormal rhytms of heart. 
Angiography test is used to find out blockages in coronary arteries. Angiography is the gold standard to diagnose blockage in coronary arteries. In angiography, a contrast dye is injected into the coronary arteries through a catheter (plastic thin tube). During this process, doctor watches blood flow in arteries of heart on the X-ray screen. 
An angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked heart arteries. Coronary arteries get blocked due to deposition of fats, cholesterol or plaque. These blockages stop the blood flow to the heart muscles. Due to the insufficient supply of oxygenated blood, the heart muscles start dying. This condition is known as heart attack. Or decreased blood flow due to block can lead to chest pain and breathlessness, which also requires treatment.
A pacemaker is a small, battery operated device. Cardiologist implants pacemaker in the chest to manage or control irregular heartbeats or abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemaker is used to treat arrhythmias. In arrhythmias heart beats too fast, too slow or with irregular rhythms. It sends signal to the heart to beat at a normal rate. 
Pediatric Device Closure by cardiac catheterization:
Transcatheter Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) device closure is a minimally invasive solution for ASD which is as effective as open heart surgery.
On the day of procedure, pediatric cardiologist and anesthesiologist keep child under sedation. Anesthesiologist monitors the situation continuously.
