About Dr. Sama Akber

Dr. Sama Akber is a consultant interventional cardiologist at Dr. Humayun Speciality Hospital, T. Nagar, with an MD in General Medicine and a DM in Cardiology.

Cardiac care is judged on how quickly the right thing happens. His practice covers the whole route: assessing chest pain, deciding which tests actually answer the question, and treating blocked arteries through a catheter in the cath lab. He is as willing to tell a patient that their heart is fine as to book them for an angiogram, which in a speciality with this much anxiety attached matters more than it sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have chest pain right now. Should I book an appointment?

No. Chest pain or pressure lasting more than a few minutes, especially with breathlessness or sweating, needs an ambulance. Call 108 and come to the emergency department.

Do I need an angiogram to know if my heart is alright?

Usually not. Most people are assessed with an ECG, an echocardiogram and a treadmill test. An angiogram is arranged only when those suggest a reason for it.

Will I be asleep during an angioplasty?

No. It is done under local anaesthetic with light sedation. You stay awake, and most people describe pressure rather than pain.
