1. Previous Medical History & File Organization

Arrange your medical files chronologically in a clear folder:

  • **Baseline Electrocardiogram (ECG):** Always bring previous ECG strips. Comparing a current ECG with an old strip allows cardiologists to detect silent ischemia, new bundle branch blocks, or previous myocardial infarctions.
  • **2D/Color Doppler Echocardiography Report:** Shows ejection fraction (EF%), chamber dimensions, wall motion abnormalities, and valvular health.
  • **Angiogram (CAG) / Stent Cards:** If you have undergone coronary stenting or bypass surgery (CABG), keep your discharge summary and stent documentation booklet readily accessible.

    2. Daily Medication List

    Write down the exact names and dosages of all current medicines:

  • Blood pressure tablets (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, Beta-blockers, Calcium channel blockers).
  • Blood thinners (Aspirin, Clopidogrel).
  • Cholesterol-lowering statins (Atorvastatin, Rosuvastatin).
  • Diabetes medications and insulin units.

    3. Blood Pressure Diary

    If you experience episodic headaches, chest pressure, or palpitations, log your blood pressure twice daily (morning and evening) for 5 to 7 days prior to your visit. This helps determine whether true hypertension or 'white-coat hypertension' is present.
