Prof. Dr. Rownak Jahan Tamanna is a Professor of Cardiology and Head of the Department of Cardiology at United Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. Her qualifications include MBBS, MD in Cardiology, FESC (UK) and FICM (India). Her professional field focuses on cardiovascular health, including the assessment and management of heart-related conditions. Patients seeking specialist advice about cardiac symptoms or an existing heart diagnosis can consult her to discuss their medical history and appropriate treatment options.

Cardiovascular problems may cause chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness or reduced stamina during everyday activities. These symptoms can have different causes and should be assessed according to the patient's medical history and examination findings. A cardiologist may recommend investigations such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, blood tests or other cardiac studies to help determine the cause and guide treatment.

Long-term heart health also involves managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and smoking. Patients with established cardiovascular disease may need regular monitoring, prescribed medication and changes to their daily habits. Keeping previous test results and an updated list of medicines can make follow-up visits more productive. Patients should discuss new symptoms or medication concerns with their treating doctor rather than changing treatment independently.

Those preparing for a consultation can bring cardiac reports, laboratory results and details of previous treatment. Asking about the diagnosis, recommended investigations, treatment choices and follow-up arrangements can help clarify the next steps. Sudden chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting or cold sweating requires immediate emergency medical attention.
