The Cardiology Department provides a wide range of services
including 24 hour cardiology emergency services for both out
patients and in patients. It offers intensive coronary care,
and invasive and non invasive cardiology services.
The various Cardiology services on offer are
• Non Invasive Cardiology
• Interventional Cardiology
• Interventions
The patient’s cardiac status is assessed by sophisticated diagnostic equipments. It includes
12 channel
Electrocardiography(ECG) – The
Electrocardiogram is a pictorial record of the
electrical activity of the heart, which gives doctors an
idea of its functioning. Abnormalities in rhythm, size,
structure, electrical pathways and blood supply of the
heart can be detected with this simple investigation.
Exercise Stress testing or Treadmill test –
Indication –The test is mainly used to estimate
the likelihood and extent of coronary artery
disease(CAD), and to determine prognosis and functional
capacity, and the effects of therapy.
Less common
indications include evaluation of symptomatic recurrent
exercise induced arrhythmias and conduction
disturbances. The Stress Room is adequately equipped
with emergency devices such as cardiac
defibrillator,oxygen cylinders and life-saving
medication.
24 hour Holter monitoring – The electrical
activity of the heart is monitored continuously while
the patient is ambulatory over a certain period (
usually done over 24 hours ), for evaluation of any
rhythm disturbance , ischaemia etc.
Echocardiography and Colour Doppler –
Echocardiography has become the standard diagnostic
technique in modern cardiac care. Echo is often combined
with Doppler ultrasound and color Doppler to evaluate
blood flow across the heart’s valves.
Chest Pain Unit-CPU (Rapid triage of
patients with chest pain) – Helps in the rapid
assessment of patients who present with complaints of
chest discomfort or other symptoms consistent with
possible acute coronary syndrome.
The CPU provides
up to six hours of observation, serial ECG recording and
biochemical cardiac testing including CK-MB and
troponin. The patient is admitted if any of the
following are recorded: >1mm ST elevation or
depression in
any two contiguous leads; T wave
changes unrelated to posture or hyperventilation;
arrhythmia; 2nd or 3rd degree heart block; or left
bundle branch block or if cardiac enzymes are elevate
Highly qualified consultants, trained at the best centres in India, provide their services here as Interventional Cardiologists. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are carried out by a highly skilled team of Invasive Cardiologists, Technicians and Nurses.
Diagnostic procedures
Cardiac Catheterization and angiography – A
diagnostic procedure which does a comprehensive
examination of how the heart and its blood vessels
function. One or more catheters is inserted through a
peripheral blood vessel in the arm or leg with x-ray
guidance. Typically performed along with angiography, a
technique of injecting a dye into the vascular system to
outline the heart and blood vessels.
Coronary Angiogram(CAG) – coronary
angiogram, is the “gold standard” for the evaluation of
coronary artery disease (CAD) and helps to identify the
exact location and severity of CAD and is performed
under local anesthesia. With the assistance of a
fluoroscope a catheter is advanced to the opening of the
coronary arteries and a small amount of radiographic
contrast is injected into each coronary artery. The
images that are produced are called the angiogram.
Radial angiogram (CAG through the hand)Angiography
through the groin area is often painful for the patient
to go through .The patient has to lie down on their back
after the procedure which causes significant
discomfort.. With radial
approach( done from the
hand) patient can stand up, sit down, use the toilet and
even eat using the same hand immediately after the
intervention.The patient can be discharged in 2.5 to 3
hours following a diagnostic angiogram done via the
radial route.
Peripheral angiograms are done to detect blocks in
the arteries which supply the blood to the head and neck
or those to the abdomen and legs. Includes
Cereberal Angiogram
Renal
Angiogram
Aortogram etc.
PTCA( coronary angioplasty) – Angioplasty opens blocked arteries and restores normal blood flow to the heart muscle. A catheter is guided into the blocked heart artery from an artery in your leg or arm. A very thin wire is threaded across the blockage. Over this wire a collapsed wire mesh tube called a stent, tightly mounted on a special balloon, is moved over the wire to the blocked area. As the balloon is inflated, it opens the stent against the artery walls. The stent locks in this position and helps keep the artery open. The balloon and catheters are taken out.
TRANS RADIAL ANGIOPLASTY – Angioplasty is
done from the hand and the patient is ambulant
immediately after the procedure.Stable patients can be
discharged on the same day itself.
PHARMACO INVASIVE THERAPY OF MI – Patients
who are thrombolysed are taken up for angiogram and
angioplasty within 3-24 hours.
Peripheral angioplasty
Balloon mitral
valvuloplasty
Balloon aortic
valvuloplasty
Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty
Permanent Pacemaker Implantation(PPI)–
A Pacemaker is an electronic device placed in the heart,
below the skin, to generate heartbeats when the heart is
unable to generate them normally.
