Cardiac Sciences

Introduction

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the heart and the blood vessels. It covers a wide range of conditions, such as congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and arrhythmias. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose and treat these diseases using various tests and procedures. 

We are one of the leading healthcare providers in India, with a network of 28 hospitals across the country. Fortis Healthcare has a team of expert cardiologists who offer comprehensive and advanced cardiac care, including cardiac bypass, heart disease treatment, angioplasty, stenting, pacemaker implantation, and more.

Best Cardiology Hospital in India

Heart disease is one of the serious problems that affects many people worldwide, causing illness and, unfortunately, even deaths. It doesn’t discriminate – anyone, no matter their age, gender, or lifestyle. When heart issues arise, like chest pain or difficulty breathing, careful surgery is often needed to address problems such as blocked arteries or damaged valves. While these procedures are complex, skilled interventions can lead to positive outcomes. However, it’s crucial to make the right choice with the medical facility. That’s where the Fortis 

Cardiology Hospital name comes in. Recognized as one of  Best Cardiology Hospitals in India,  we address these challenges with expertise, cutting-edge technology, and aim for positive outcomes in every heartbeat

Expect top-notch treatment at Fortis Heart Hospital, where our commitment covers a variety of heart surgeries but mainly: 

• Invasive cardiology: An open or minimally-invasive surgery technique to identify and treat structural or electrical abnormalities within the heart structure. Common types of invasive cardiology include:
• Angioplasty: When plaque clogs the arteries, it becomes difficult for blood to flow normally. Angioplasty inserts a tiny balloon into the clogged vein and pushes plaque against the walls, allowing for increased blood flow.
• Stenting: Stenting is usually done in conjunction with angioplasty. A cardiac stent is a small metal coil which permanently holds a clogged vein open.
• Non-invasive cardiology: This procedure helps in identifying heart problems without using any needles, fluids, or other instruments inserted into the body. Non-invasive cardiologists utilise techniques such as:
• Nuclear cardiology: A non-invasive study of cardiovascular disorders by means of various types of imaging which may use radioactive elements.
• Echocardiography: The usage of ultrasound waves to create images of the heart and surrounding structures in order to identify how well the heart pumps blood, infections, and structural abnormalities.
• Cardiac electrophysiology: Study and testing of the electrical currents which generate heartbeats.
• Stress tests: Stress testing usually involves exercise which is closely monitored by the cardiologist. These exercises provide information about how a person’s heart performs under physical stress.
• Heart monitors: Heart monitors may also be called a Holter monitor or cardiac event recorder. Heart monitors are essentially tape recorders for your heart’s electrical activity over a set amount of time.
• CT scans: CT scans produce images of the affected area examined by the cardiologist for any heart diseases and atherosclerosis.
• Interventional cardiology: This is a non-surgical technique which uses a catheter – a small, flexible tube – to repair damaged or weakened vessels, narrowed arteries, or other affected parts of the heart structure. Common conditions treated by interventional cardiology include:
• Coronary artery disease: Narrowing of the arteries which supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen.
• Heart valve disease: Occurs when the valves which control blood flow into the heart’s chambers are not working correctly.
• Peripheral vascular disease: Your heart can also be affected by clogged or hardened veins and arteries in the other parts of your body.
