Telecardiology is supported by AHA, ESC and CSI for chronic care, follow-up and most assessments. Here is how it works at HopeQure.
By language, experience, sub-specialty (BP, cholesterol, arrhythmia, heart failure, preventive care). Same-day slots available.
Symptoms, BP and cholesterol values, current medications and family history. Upload ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, Holter, lipid profile or HbA1c reports.
Video, voice or chat consultation. Cardiologist reviews reports, evaluates risk using AHA, ASCVD and CSI criteria, then creates a personalised treatment plan.
Receive medication guidance, diagnostic referrals for Echo, TMT, Holter or lipid testing, along with DASH diet planning and emergency red-flag advice.
Free 7-day chat support plus monthly medication review with the same cardiologist. Track BP, cholesterol and sugar trends while staying on your long-term care plan.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in India, accounting for over 28% of total mortality (WHO 2023). Yet, more than half of these deaths are preventable with early screening, lifestyle modification, and medication.
Understand and control high blood pressure — reach AHA / ESC targets safely.
Detect early signs of heart blockage, valve issues or arrhythmia before they escalate.
Lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels — naturally and with medication when needed.
Prevent stroke, heart failure, and cardiac arrest through structured risk reduction.
Treat lifestyle disorders (obesity, diabetes, stress) contributing to CVD — integrated care.
AHA and CSI guidelines support telecardiology for hypertension, cholesterol management, heart failure follow-up and preventive heart care, with outcomes comparable to many in-person consultations.
If you experience any of the following, consult a cardiologist online or in-person without delay.
Heart disease is not just a cardiac issue — it is a lifestyle, nutrition and mental wellness concern. Your cardiologist co-manages recovery with our integrated care team.
Case history, BP monitoring, diagnostics. Prescriptions for statins, beta blockers and anticoagulants. Digital review of ECG, TMT, Holter and blood panels.
DASH and Mediterranean meal plans. Cholesterol-lowering foods including Omega-3, fiber and plant sterols. Salt reduction and hydration guidance.
Safe post-cardiac rehabilitation exercises. Pranayama for BP and breathing regulation. Weight management plans for improved cardiovascular health.
Anxiety and depression linked to cardiac risk. CBT and mindfulness for stress resilience and emotional recovery after major cardiac events.
Polypharmacy review for elderly patients. Statin titration, BP medication adjustments, anticoagulant monitoring and side-effect management.
Home BP, cholesterol and HbA1c tracking. Monthly cardiologist reviews, ECG reassessment and emergency escalation guidance when required.
AHA / ESC / CSI-aligned protocols for the most common cardiac conditions Indians face. Each protocol is adapted to your age, comorbidities and BP / lipid targets.
Goal: <130/80 mmHg sustained, off-medication where possible
Goal: LDL <70 (high-risk) or <100 (moderate risk); 50%+ reduction from baseline
Goal: Stroke prevention, symptom control, restore quality of life
Goal: Zero re-events at 12 months; ejection fraction recovery; return to normal life
From a young 30-year-old worried about family history, to a senior managing post-bypass care — your cardiologist personalises the plan for you.
Family history concerns, early CV risk screening, Lp(a), PCOS-related risk, lifestyle interventions, smoking cessation.
Pregnancy-induced hypertension, pre-eclampsia risk, peripartum cardiomyopathy, safe medication selection.
Hypertension, dyslipidemia, executive stress, obesity, diabetes-CV risk, BP medication tapering, ASCVD prevention.
Discharge medication review, DAPT optimization, cardiac rehab, return-to-work guidance, secondary prevention.
Polypharmacy review, heart failure management, AFib + anticoagulation, falls risk, valve disease follow-up.
Diabetic cardiomyopathy, SGLT2 / GLP-1 selection for cardio-protection, integrated endocrine + cardiac care.
The two are often confused. Here is how to know which one fits your concern — and when both work in tandem.
Best for: First-line evaluation, primary care, holistic medical management of multiple conditions.
Best for: Confirmed cardiac diagnosis, complex heart disease, expert-level reports review, risk stratification.
The HopeQure approach: Both work together. Your physician handles the daily medical complexity; your cardiologist focuses on heart-specific decisions and reports. We make sure the records flow seamlessly.
Names changed, details anonymised, outcomes real. These are typical 12-week to 6-month trajectories on HopeQure cardiology Care Plans.
Plan: 2-week home BP log, then telmisartan 40 mg + DASH diet + walking. Re-assessment at week 4 and week 12.
Plan: 24-hour Holter (remote review) showed benign PACs. Started low-dose metoprolol + anxiety screening + integrated counsellor.
Plan: Monthly cardiologist review, atorvastatin 80 mg + ezetimibe, DAPT continued × 12 months, cardiac rehab via fitness coach.
Plan: ASCVD calculation showed elevated risk; rosuvastatin 10 mg + Mediterranean diet + integrated dietitian + exercise plan.
Plan: GDMT optimization (sacubitril-valsartan + bisoprolol + dapagliflozin + spironolactone), home weight logging, monthly reviews.
Plan: Lp(a) + Apo-B + lipid + HbA1c + ECG + Echo, ASCVD calculator and personalised lifestyle plan.

"Diagnosed with high BP at 38. My HopeQure cardiologist explained everything, started telmisartan, ran a full lipid + HbA1c panel and connected me with a dietitian. Six months on, my BP is steady at 122/78 without dose escalation."VK
"Persistent palpitations were terrifying me. The cardiologist did a Holter review remotely, confirmed they were benign PACs, started low-dose beta blocker and addressed underlying anxiety. The integrated mental health referral made the real difference."SM
"Post-angioplasty follow-up was a nightmare with my crowded local hospital. HopeQure cardiologist reviews my ECGs monthly, adjusts statins, and our 3-month plan keeps me on track. My LDL went from 165 to 78 in 6 months."RS
"My father (72) with heart failure HFrEF needed continuous monitoring. The cardiologist set up monthly reviews, adjusted his diuretic dose based on weight tracking, and integrated home oxygen guidance. He has not been hospitalised in 8 months."AG
"PCOS + family history of early MI scared me. HopeQure cardiologist did a full risk assessment, started low-dose statin given my Lp(a) was high, and built a sustainable lifestyle plan. Felt heard and taken seriously for the first time at 32."PM
"Multilingual cardiologist who spoke Bengali for my dad meant my mom could ask all her questions herself. Hindi-only telehealth never worked for them. Holter review and AFib anticoagulation managed perfectly from Kolkata."SD
