2. WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO TODAY?
Physical fitness has taken a storm among GenZ and
millennials today. Social Media is inspiring millions of
people via fitness influencers who launch their 15, 30,
or 45-day quick transformation exercise programs.
Kick-starting your fitness routine is a commendable
decision but the first step towards a healthier lifestyle
would involve careful consideration, especially when it
comes to heart.
You should consider getting your heart checkup done
by Dr Ranjit Jagtap, MBBS, MS, a reliable
cardiothoracic Surgeon of Ram Mangal Heart
Foundation, Pune. The foundation has served 12,067
happy patients with phenomenal heart-related
services.
3. Dr Ranjit Jagtap Clinic states the key reason, when
your body starts participating in an average to high
activity, there is a slight increase in the risk of heart
attack or cardiac complication.
Many people blame nature for the sudden deaths in
gyms but the real reason is not taking heart health
seriously and not getting the checkup done on time.
Before starting a physical activity check, if you’re
someone who has a weak internal medical condition
or is suffering from hypertension or has any family
history related to the heart. If yes, then you should
deeply take care of yourself and consult him for a
proper checkup. Being a junk food addict is another
sign of a bad internal medical condition. Choosing
exercise just for the weight loss purpose is
something which medical professionals strictly deny.
WHY IS A HEART CHECKUP EVEN REQUIRED?
4. BASIC TESTS FOR CHECKING HEART HEALTH BEFORE STARTING GYM/ EXERCISE
1. Blood Pressure: We consider blood
pressure as normal when it is between
120/80. It is considered elevated
when it is between 120–129/80.
Whereas when it is between 130–
139/80–89 then it comes under stage 1
which counts as hypertension. You are
supposed to make some lifestyle
changes and modifications to your
diet.
5. BASIC TESTS FOR CHECKING HEART HEALTH BEFORE STARTING GYM/ EXERCISE
Fasting Blood Sugar Test
HbA1c Test
2. Blood Sugar: This test tells whether a
person is diabetic or whether there is any
risk of being diabetic in the future. There
are two tests:
6. LIPID PROFILE TEST
In this test, you are supposed to do
overnight fasting and then give your
blood sample in the morning. Then the
doctor checks the patient’s level for
VLDL which should be less than 30
mg/dl, HDL which should be, for
females more than 50 mg/dl and for
males more than 40 mg/dl,
Triglyceride which should be less than
150 mg/dl and Total Cholesterol which
should be less than 200 mg/dl.
7. HSCRP
Consider this test as it describes vascular
inflammation. If the inflammation level is higher
in your body then it damages the blood vessels
and also increases the risk of heart attack and
stroke. If the HsCrp level is <1 mg/lit then the
patient comes under low risk. If results are
between 1–3 mg/lit then the patient comes
under moderate risk. If results are more than 3
mg/lit then there is a high risk.
8. COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) TEST
This test checks the total oxygen-
carrying capacity of haemoglobin in
the body. Haemoglobin is
responsible for taking oxygen to
every other part of the body. This
overall checks the haemoglobin
level to mark it as good normal or
low. So baseline CBC test is a must.
9. KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST AND LIVER FUNCTION TEST
Kidney and Liver are very important
organs of your body. This test is a must
as it helps to check if organs are
functioning normally or not. The kidney
and Liver help the body to maintain a
good metabolism, Blood Pressure, Fluid
balance, and Cholesterol level.
10. ECG

activity in your body. This ensures that the
heart rate is normal, and rhythm is working in
a regular flow or is irregular.
