List of Treatments

ECG-Treadmill Test TMT: A cardiac stress test, or treadmill test, is a cardiology test that assesses the heart's capacity to react to external stress in the context of clinical practice. This is the most basic and easy evaluation of functional response of heart to physical strain. It involves the regular monitoring of the patient's blood pressure and cardiac rates by using an exercise protocol, a treadmill, or a bicycle.

Cardiac OPD Procedures: Cardiac OPD operations are those that are conducted on a regular schedule and do not require hospital admission. History taking, examination, blood tests, the electrocardiogram, event evaluation, cardiac stress testing, electrophysiological studies, and other procedures are conducted in the cardiac OPD.

Coronary Revascularization Surgery: Coronary revascularization is a group of treatments or procedures that restore blood flow to areas of the heart that aren't getting enough blood to meet their needs. Rather than open-heart surgery, the surgeon attaches (grafts) a healthy vessel (often taken from the leg) to the diseased or narrowed heart vessel. After that, blood "bypasses" the sick spot and goes through the new channel.

TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation): Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a procedure for replacing an aortic valve that doesn't open entirely. It enhances blood flow in the heart. In order to access the aortic valve in the heart, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the patient's upper leg or chest.

24-Hour Holter Monitoring: Holter monitoring is a technique used to assess how the heart reacts to regular activities. The monitor can also be used following a heart attack in order to identify cardiac rhythm issues that may be producing symptoms like irregular heartbeats or hypotension.

Minimal Invasive Cardiac Surgery: It is a surgical procedure in which instead of cutting through the breastbone as in open-heart surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery entails making tiny incisions on the right side of the chest to reach the heart between the ribs. A number of cardiac problems can be treated with minimally invasive heart surgery.
ECMO: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a sort of mechanical life support that can assist a person whose lungs and heart aren't working properly. ECMO constantly removes blood from the body and routes it through devices that provide oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.

Heart Transplant: A heart transplant is a procedure that replaces a failing heart with a healthy donor heart. Heart transplantation is often reserved for patients whose health has not improved sufficiently with medicines or other surgical procedures. While a heart transplant is a significant surgery, with proper follow-up treatment, your chances of survival are strong.

Aortic Aneurysm Surgery: Depending on the location of the ruptured vessel, the surgeon in this surgery first creates a big cut in the stomach or chest. The blood vessel is then eliminated, and the transplant is stitched in its place. This transplant is often a leak-proof polyester tube. The recovery time for open surgical repair is around one month.

VAD: A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a device that assists in the pumping of blood from the heart's lower chambers to the rest of the body. It is used to treat a weak heart or heart failure. A VAD may be used to assist the heart while alternative therapies, such as a heart transplant, are being considered.

Angiogram: A diagnostic technique called an angiogram utilizes X-ray pictures to check for blockages in the blood vessels (veins or arteries). The healthcare practitioner observes how blood flows through blood vessels at particular points in the body by performing an angiography test.

Coronary Artery Disease: Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque accumulation in the walls of the arteries supplying blood to the heart. Medications and surgery in cases of severe conditions are performed as part of the treatment process for this disease.

Electrophysiology: An electrophysiology (EP) examination is a test used to identify irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias. It evaluates the electrical system or activity of the patient’s heart. Catheters are inserted into blood vessels that enter the heart, and after that, wire electrodes, which measure the flow of electric activity, are inserted.

Angioplasty is a surgical treatment in which a small wire mesh tube called a stent is inserted into the artery. To promote better blood flow, the stent is left in place permanently.
