Angiography is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to visualize blood vessels and assess their condition. It involves the injection of a contrast dye into the bloodstream, allowing doctors to take detailed X-ray images of arteries and veins. Angiography helps detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in the blood vessels, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as coronary artery disease, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. This procedure is essential for determining the best course of treatment, including angioplasty or surgery.
-
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries. It involves the insertion of a small balloon-tipped catheter into the affected artery, which is then inflated to widen the artery and improve blood circulation. In many cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open. Angioplasty is commonly performed to treat coronary artery disease, reducing chest pain (angina) and the risk of heart attacks. This procedure allows for a quicker recovery compared to open-heart surgery and is an effective treatment for improving heart health.
-
Paediatric Cardiology is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. This multidisciplinary approach encompasses a range of services, including non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tests, medical management, and surgical interventions for congenital and acquired heart diseases. Common conditions treated include congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies. Our dedicated team of paediatric cardiologists and surgeons works closely with families to provide comprehensive care tailored to each child's unique needs, ensuring optimal health outcomes and support throughout their journey.
-
Cardiac Minimal Invasive Surgery (CMIS) is a modern surgical approach that allows for heart procedures to be performed through small incisions rather than traditional large openings. This technique minimizes trauma to the body, resulting in reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and less scarring. CMIS can be used for various cardiac procedures, including valve repairs or replacements, coronary artery bypass grafting, and atrial septal defect closures. By utilizing advanced imaging and surgical technology, our skilled cardiac surgeons can provide effective treatment while prioritizing patient comfort and swift recovery, helping patients return to their daily lives more quickly.
-
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is a surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. During CABG, a surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, such as the leg or chest, and uses it to create a bypass around the blocked coronary artery. This improves blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating symptoms like chest pain (angina) and reducing the risk of heart attacks. CABG is typically recommended for patients with multiple blockages or significant heart disease, offering a proven solution for restoring heart health and enhancing quality of life.
-
Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump designed to support heart function in patients with severe heart failure. It assists the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, in circulating blood throughout the body. LVADs can be used as a bridge to heart transplantation for patients awaiting a donor heart or as a long-term solution for those not eligible for transplant. The device is implanted surgically and works continuously, helping to improve symptoms, enhance quality of life, and increase exercise capacity. Patients with an LVAD require careful monitoring and follow-up care, but many experience significant improvements in their overall health and well-being.

FAQs
-
What does cardiologist do?A cardiologist is a medical doctor who studies and treats diseases and conditions of the cardiovascular system – the heart and blood vessels – including heart rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart defects and infections and related disorders.
-
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 is a heart doctor called?A cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in the care of your heart and blood vessels. They can treat many heart problems or help you prevent them. They may also specialize in specific areas, such as abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, or heart problems you've had since birth.
-
How does a cardiologist check your heart?Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG shows what is happening in different areas of the heart and helps to identify any problems with your heart's rhythm or rhythm. ECG is painless and takes about 5-10 minutes to do.
-
What is a normal heart rate?The normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. In general, a lower resting heart rate means more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness.
-
Why is echo test done?An echocardiogram can help diagnose and monitor certain heart conditions. It examines the structure of the heart and surrounding blood vessels, analyzes how blood flows through them, and assesses the pumping chambers of the heart.
-
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.
-
When can heart failure start?Heart failure can begin suddenly after your heart muscle is damaged by a medical condition or injury. But in most cases, heart failure develops gradually due to long-term medical conditions. Conditions that can cause heart failure include: Arrhythmia (a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat)
