Cardiology

All Departments

Cardiology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart-related conditions and diseases. Cardiologists are trained to evaluate and treat various cardiovascular issues, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, congenital heart defects, and valvular diseases. They employ diagnostic procedures like echocardiography, electrocardiography, stress tests, and cardiac catheterization to assess heart health and recommend appropriate treatment strategies.

Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the heart. A small balloon is inflated inside the blood vessel to widen it and improve blood flow.

Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery

Cardiothoracic vascular surgery involves surgical procedures on the heart, blood vessels, and thoracic (chest) area. It includes surgeries such as bypass surgery, valve repair or replacement, and aortic aneurysm repair.

Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the heart using small incisions instead of open-heart surgery. This approach typically results in reduced scarring, shorter recovery time, and fewer complications.

Padiatric CTVS

Pediatric Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery focuses on surgical interventions for congenital heart defects and other cardiac conditions in children. It involves various procedures like repair of heart defects, valve repair, and heart transplantation in pediatric patients.

Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology involves minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various heart conditions. This can include techniques such as angioplasty, stenting, and catheter-based procedures to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels.

Non- surgical Closure of Heart Defects

Non-surgical closure of heart defects refers to procedures that do not require open-heart surgery to repair certain types of congenital heart defects. These procedures often involve the use of catheters and devices to close or repair the defect.

Non- invasive Cardiology

Non-invasive cardiology refers to diagnostic techniques used to assess heart health without the need for surgery or invasive procedures. Examples include electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac imaging techniques.

Paediatric Cardiology

Pediatric cardiology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions in children. Pediatric cardiologists specialize in managing heart defects, arrhythmias, and other cardiac problems specific to infants, children, and adolescents.

CT Angiography

CT angiography is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses computed tomography (CT) to visualize blood vessels and assess blood flow. It provides detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to aid in the diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions.

Electrophysiology

Electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology that deals with the electrical activities of the heart. Electrophysiology studies help diagnose and treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) through procedures such as catheter ablation and pacemaker implantation.

TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation)

TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a diseased aortic valve in patients with severe aortic stenosis. It involves inserting a new valve through a catheter, typically via the femoral artery, without the need for open-heart surgery.
