I am grateful for the care I received at Medicover Hospitals after being referred for my chest pain. The consultation with Dr Keshav Dada Kale led to an angiography, and I was well supported throughout the recovery process.

I am very satisfied with the effective treatment that has restored my health.
What is Chest Pain?
Chest pain refers to discomfort or pain felt anywhere between the neck and upper abdomen. While it may sometimes be caused by non-cardiac issues such as acidity or muscle strain, chest pain can also be a warning sign of serious heart conditions. When related to the heart, it often occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, a condition known as angina, or due to a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Common warning signs associated with cardiac-related chest pain include:
- A tight, heavy, or squeezing sensation in the chest
- Pain spreading to the arms, neck, jaw, or back
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness, sweating, or lightheadedness
Accurate diagnosis is essential and usually involves investigations such as an ECG, blood tests, stress testing, and coronary angiography to identify blockages or narrowing in the heart's arteries.
What Treatment did we provide to Namdev Desai at Medicover?
At Medicover Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, Mr Namdev Desai received specialised chest pain evaluation under the care of Dr Keshav Dada Kale. Based on his symptoms and clinical assessment, the medical team recommended a diagnostic coronary angiography.
Angiography is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to visualise the coronary arteries and assess blood flow to the heart. This investigation helped determine the exact cause of Mr Desai's chest pain and guided further management.
His treatment pathway included:
- Specialised cardiology consultation
- Diagnostic coronary angiography
- Close post-procedure monitoring
- Supportive care and recovery guidance
Mr Desai's smooth recovery and positive outcome reflect the timely diagnosis, expert cardiac care, and attentive hospital support provided by the Medicover team.
