The Cardiology Department at Fortis hospitals provides the best of services in terms of accurate diagnosis and professional treatment. Our experienced team of doctors specialise in cardiac bypass surgery, minimally invasive surgery, interventional cardiology, and non-invasive cardiology. We also provide ambulatory systems for emergencies along with non-invasive image processing, echocardiography, stress tests, cardiovascular CT’s and thallium heart mapping among many other services. Our paediatric division also diagnoses and treats cardiac issues in newborns and foetuses alike.
Cardiac Bypass Surgery: Cardiac bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a surgical procedure that helps improve blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. This procedure can be a life-saving option for patients with severe coronary artery disease.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques involve smaller incisions and less trauma to the body compared to traditional open-heart surgery. These techniques can result in quicker recovery times and less post-operative pain.
Interventional Cardiology: Interventional cardiology procedures involve using catheters and other minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat various heart conditions, such as angioplasty and stent placement for blocked arteries.
Non-Invasive Cardiology: Non-invasive cardiology focuses on diagnostic tests and procedures that do not require surgery or invasive interventions. This can include various imaging techniques like echocardiography, stress tests, and cardiovascular CT scans.
Ambulatory Systems for Emergencies: Ambulatory systems for emergencies are crucial for providing timely care to patients experiencing heart-related emergencies. These systems ensure that patients receive rapid evaluation and treatment, which is essential in critical situations.
Non-Invasive Image Processing: Non-invasive image processing is a vital component of modern cardiology. It allows for the analysis and interpretation of various imaging modalities to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Echocardiography: Echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. It is valuable for assessing heart conditions.
Stress Tests: Stress tests help evaluate how well the heart functions during physical stress. They are useful for diagnosing conditions like coronary artery disease.
Cardiovascular CT Scans: Cardiovascular CT scans provide detailed images of the heart and blood vessels, allowing for the assessment of coronary artery disease and other cardiac conditions.
Thallium Heart Mapping: Thallium heart mapping is a nuclear medicine test used to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle. It can identify areas of reduced blood flow and help in diagnosing heart conditions.
The Cardiology Department at Fortis Hospitals offer a comprehensive range of services to meet the needs of patients with heart-related conditions. It's important for individuals to consult healthcare providers to determine the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment options for their specific cardiac issues

A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing,
diseased heart is replaced with a donor heart. It is a
treatment that’s usually reserved for people who have tried
medications or other surgeries, but their conditions haven’t
improved sufficiently. -
Fortis has a specialised multi-disciplinary team of paediatric
cardiologists, paediatric surgeons, anaesthesiologists and
paediatric intensivists. The team is solely dedicated to work
towards child cardiac care. -
Heart Failure also known as congestive heart failure is a
condition when the heart does not pump enough blood around to
meet the body’s need. Both the sides or just one side of the
heart can be affected by this condition

|| Paediatric Cardiac Surgery || 1. Extracardiac Fontan:- A surgical procedure that reroutes blood flow directly from the body to the lungs in certain complex congenital heart conditions. | 2. Device Closure:- A medical procedure that uses implants to close congenital heart defects in children without the need for open-heart surgery. | 3. Congenital Heart Diseases / Septal Defects:- Heart conditions from birth, where septal defects involve abnormal heart chamber wall openings. | 4. Tetralogy of Fallot:- A complex congenital heart condition with four primary defects, leading to mixed blood flow in the body. | 5. Coarctation of Aorta:- A congenital narrowing of the body's main blood vessel, which can cause high blood pressure and reduced blood flow.
-
|| Adult Cardiac Surgery || 1. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG):- A heart surgery that creates new blood pathways to bypass blockages in the coronary arteries.2. Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD):- A mechanical heart pump implanted to help the left ventricle pump blood in cases of severe heart failure.3. Heart Transplant:- The surgical replacement of a damaged heart with a healthy one from a donor.4. Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting:- A minimally invasive method to collect blood vessels for heart bypass surgery, using small incisions and a camera.5. Total Arterial CABGs:- A heart bypass surgery using only arteries as grafts for better long-term results.6. Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery:- Uses small incisions and specialized techniques for faster recovery in heart surgeries.7. Valve Surgery:- Repairs or replaces malfunctioning heart valves to improve blood flow.

-
Can cardiologist do surgery?Although cardiologists can't perform surgery, there are some specialized procedures that they can perform. For example, an interventional cardiologist may use a stent to open clogged arteries. Apart from this, they can implant some advanced devices in the heart of the patient suffering from some heart related disorders.
-
What are the heart problems?Heart disease refers to any problem affecting the heart, such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure. Lifestyle choices can prevent many of these conditions, and medicine can help manage them if they do occur.
-
What is weak heart?Cardiomyopathy is a disease in which the heart muscle becomes weak, stretched, or has some other structural problem. This often contributes to the heart's inability to pump or function properly. Many people with cardiomyopathy develop heart failure.
-
How do you confirm heart failure?Go to your doctor. You may have trouble breathing, an irregular heartbeat, swollen legs, varicose veins in your neck, and hoarseness from fluid in your lungs. Your doctor will check for these and other signs of heart failure. A test called an echocardiogram is often the best test to diagnose your heart failure.
