If that thought crossed your mind after bypass surgery you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common (and important) questions heart patients ask during recovery.
Now, there’s no one-size-fits-all list of tests after bypass. It really depends on how you’re feeling, your medical history, and what your cardiologist has observed so far.

If you're seeing the same doctor, they'll usually tell you exactly what to test and when. If it's a new doctor, they’ll review your reports and guide you from there.

𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐮𝐩𝐬:
CBC
Lipid and advanced lipid profile
Lp(a) – often just once
hs‑CRP and homocysteine
HbA1c (if diabetes is a concern)
NT‑proBNP
ECG
2D Echo
Stress TMT
Some of these might be repeated every few months depending on your case.

Most important? Don’t try to figure this out on your own. Let your cardiologist decide what’s right for you.

Is the samosa really to blame? Or the biscuit with your chai?
We fixate on calories, but miss the bigger picture.
Heart disease isn’t about one snack — it’s about years of silent risk.

You may eat clean, stay active, and still not know your LDL-C, HbA1c, or blood pressure.
Because real prevention starts with awareness — not assumptions.

He didn’t smoke. Ate clean. Went to the gym daily. Still, he collapsed mid-workout.

A 40-year-old Delhi man fell down suddenly during his regular gym session—despite two decades of healthy habits. No symptoms. No known risk factors. But his arteries were severely blocked.

Timely CPR and AED use saved his life.

𝐀𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐇𝐇𝐈𝐅), we see this often:
✔️ Gyms must ensure CPR-trained staff and defibrillator access
✔️ Fitness doesn’t rule out silent heart disease
✔️ Intense workouts can trigger hidden risks
✔️ ECG, TMT, Echo tests are essential (early detection is the key)

Don’t skip your check-up.
Know your heart before you push it.

She was just 9. She had packed her lunch, reached school, and collapsed minutes later. A healthy-looking child. No visible signs. Just gone.

The suspected cause? Sudden cardiac arrest.

It's easy to think, “But she looked normal”. That’s the problem.

🛑 Cardiac arrest is not a heart attack. It’s an electrical failure of the heart, and in children, it’s often linked to undiagnosed conditions like:
– Congenital heart disease
– Cardiomyopathy
– Arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms)

None of these always show obvious signs. But there are warning clues we often miss:
– Unexplained fainting or dizziness
– Racing heartbeat or palpitations
– Breathlessness during activity
– Complaints of chest pain or “weakness” during play

As parents, teachers, or caregivers — we must stop brushing this off as normal.

🩺 A simple stethoscope exam, ECG, or echocardiogram can detect issues early.
🏥 Every school must be trained in CPR and have access to an AED.
⏱ The first 10 minutes matter. Every second counts.

HHIF stands for awareness — because prevention is still possible.

Let’s not wait for more stories like Prachi’s.
Let’s ask the right questions.
Let’s take that check-up.
Let’s be ready.

💬 If you have a child or teen who has fainted, struggled with exertion, or complained of heart-related symptoms — please get them checked. Today.
