Cardiac Service

With the increasing prevalence of coronary ailments due to modern lifestyles, regular preventive health checkups have become essential. Various cardiac diagnostic services are available for early detection and prevention:

64 Slice Heart Scan:

• A non-surgical procedure detecting blocks and deposits in heart arteries.
• Helps prevent heart attacks by identifying calcium build-up and plaque deposits.
• Patient-friendly with shorter breath-holding time, reducing discomfort.

• Holter monitor: Records heart activity during daily activities for a day or two.
• Event monitor: Records heart activity when symptoms occur, worn for two days to two weeks.

• Provides clear images of the entire heart in a single rotation.
• Offers volumetric temporal resolution for better diagnosis.
• Can perform detailed neurological examination for brain perfusion assessment.

• Aortic valve replacement surgery involves median sternotomy and use of a heart-lung machine.
• Diseased valve is replaced with a mechanical one, confirmed by Transesophageal Echocardiogram.

Benefits of Heart Valve Surgery:

Relieves symptoms like breathing difficulties, chest pain, and palpitations.

Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE):

Determines stroke risk and presence of blood clots in the heart.

Stress Echocardiography:

Evaluates heart function and effectiveness of treatment using exercise or medication to stress the heart.

Electrophysiology (EP) Study:

Identifies cardiac rhythm abnormalities using catheters with electrodes.

Guides treatment decisions and therapy placement.
