Cardiology
Cardiovascular disorders have turned out to be one of the leading killers in the world. It can strike anyone, irrespective of age. Adhering to a faulty lifestyle, stress and genetic precedence are chief reasons for heart diseases. Cardiology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of heart disorders such as congenital heart defects, heart failure, atherosclerosis, electro-physiology as well as valvular heart illnesses. Performing yoga, meditation, right nutrition, remaining stress-free, and other wellness strategies can significantly reduce the risk of your heart disease
Coronary Artery Diseases
Foreign medical tourists seek out India as the prime destination for heart diseases. Here, clinics offer high quality treatment at affordable costs and are linked to provide the best arrangements for the following cardiovascular disease resolution:
Angiography (including non-ionic contrast)
This procedure enables an elaborate glimpse into the human heart chambers, arteries, veins, and blood vessels in non-ionic contrast medium.
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This invasive surgical procedure is done to restore blood transmission to the heart for effective transportation of nutrients and oxygen. A vein from the leg or artery from the inner chest wall is chosen for the bypass graft.
Double valve replacement
Patients who have congenital valve defects or acquired heart valve disease undergo this invasive procedure. It involves the replacement of both mitral and aortic valves under general anesthesia.
Angioplasty (including non-ionic contrast)
Angioplasty is the term for the surgery done to clear obstructions in the coronary artery due to plaque. This procedure is performed to increase the inner diameter of the blood vessels which have become narrow. Non-ionic contrast medium is essential for the proper visualization of the procedure. Two types of the procedure are Balloon stenting where a balloon stent is placed to aid removal of block and balloon angioplasty where the heart blockage is removed by the impact of an inflated balloon.
Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty
This is performed to widen heart valves which have become narrow. In this procedure, a thin and flexible tube which has a balloon attached to it is inserted through the groin or the arm. When the tube reaches the valve, the balloon opens up, thus widening the valve.
Pediatric cardiac surgery – conduit repair
It is a stenting surgery for pediatric patients with congenital heart defects and covers the heart membrane. The surgery known as atrial switch operation is performed to correct the position of the arteries. To seal the incision in the chest, patches are used to repair atrioventricular canal defect.
Electrophysiology study and Radio frequency catheter ablation
Electrophysiology study is done to study the heart’s electrical activity to diagnose arrhythmia or any abnormal heart beats. Catheter ablation, a minimally-invasive technique is done to treat some forms of arrhythmia.
Pacemaker implant double chamber (only surgery)
This process is done to regulate the erratic heart rhythm, by inserting a tiny electrical device inside the chest. A pacemaker implant which has double chambers is fitted with two links. One link connects with the right atrium or the upper chamber of the heart, and other connects with the ventricle or the bottom chamber of the heart on the right. The pacemaker’s electric pulses set the heart rhythm to normal.
