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.
