Treatments
Specialised care and treatments offered
HOLTER MONITORING
A Holter monitor continuously records your heart rhythm typically over 24-48 hours. This extended monitoring uncovers irregularities missed by brief ECG recordings done in clinics.
- Symptoms/Causes:: Recommended for detecting intermittent arrhythmias causing palpitations, dizziness, or syncope.
- Diagnosis:: A small portable device attached via electrodes captures continuous ECG data through routine daily routines.
- Treatment/Management: Data assists cardiologists in diagnosing rhythm disorders guiding appropriate medical or procedural treatment options.
- Expectations: Patients can maintain usual activities although swimming/bathing may be restricted while wearing monitor.
This tool significantly improves detection rates ensuring early treatment of potentially serious cardiac rhythm issues.
STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
This specialized test assesses how well your heart functions under stress conditions induced by exercise or medication. It helps identify ischemia and other functional problems not evident at rest.
- Symptoms/Causes:The test is recommended when symptoms like chest discomfort occur with exertion but resting tests are inconclusive.
- Diagnosis:Pictures are taken before and immediately after stress to compare cardiac performance changes caused by increased demand on the heart muscle.
- Treatment/Management:If abnormal wall motion or reduced pumping function is found, further interventions such as angioplasty may be considered based on findings.
This modality is invaluable for a detailed assessment of coronary artery disease without needing invasive procedures initially.
AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING (ABPM)
This technique measures blood pressure continuously over 24 hours while patients engage in their normal daily activities. It helps capture variations not seen during clinic visits.
- Symptoms/Causes: Indicated for diagnosing hypertension especially if 'white coat' effect is suspected or resistant hypertension evaluation is needed.
- Diagnosis: A portable monitor automatically records readings at intervals throughout day and night cycles.
- Treatment/Management: Provides precise data enabling tailored antihypertensive therapies based on true pressure levels outside clinical environment.
- Expectations: The device is worn comfortably on the arm; lifestyle restrictions are minimal except avoiding heavy physical activity during monitoring period.
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
A non-invasive ultrasound method, echocardiography visualizes heart structures and functionality. It is essential for assessing cardiac health without surgery or radiation exposure.
- Symptoms/Causes: Used when there are signs like shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or suspected valve issues.
- Diagnosis: Uses sound waves to generate images showing chamber size, wall motion, valve function, and blood flow patterns.
- Treatment/Management: Helps guide treatment decisions such as medication adjustment or timing of interventions.
- Expectations: Comfortable procedure usually performed in outpatient settings with immediate results available for discussion.
Echocardiography offers valuable insight into many cardiac conditions with no discomfort to the patient involved.
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM (ECG) MONITORING
An electrocardiogram records the electrical signals of your heart, helping detect irregularities. It is a fundamental diagnostic tool widely used in cardiology clinics.
- Symptoms/Causes: Useful for diagnosing arrhythmias, chest pain, or unexplained palpitations.
- Diagnosis: ECG provides real-time tracing of heart rhythm and conduction abnormalities.
- Treatment/Management: Acts as a baseline test guiding further investigations or treatments if needed.
- Expectations: Painless, non-invasive, and typically completed within minutes during office visits.
This simple test plays a crucial role in early detection and ongoing monitoring of heart conditions.
CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY
When arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, restoring blood flow is critical. Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to open these clogged vessels.
- Symptoms/Causes: Often due to atherosclerosis causing chest pain (angina) or heart attack.
- Diagnosis: Identified via coronary angiography using imaging techniques like cardiac catheterization.
- Treatment: A balloon catheter inflates at the blockage site and usually a stent is placed to keep the artery open.
- Expectations: Quick recovery compared to surgery; patients often resume normal activities within days.
This approach effectively reduces symptoms and improves quality of life by ensuring adequate blood supply to heart muscles.
