Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

MANAGEMENT OF HEART FAILURE WITH DEVICE THERAPY

Management of Heart Failure with Device Therapy

The progressive weakening of heart muscles can lead to chronic heart failure requiring complex management strategies including implantable devices for better outcomes. Device therapy plays an instrumental role in improving symptoms and survival rates among these patients.

PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION (PCI) WITH STENTING

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with Stenting

Narrowed arteries supplying the heart can reduce oxygen delivery leading to angina or myocardial infarction risk. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure that reopens these vessels using stents for structural support.

IMPLANTATION OF CARDIAC PACEMAKERS

Implantation of Cardiac Pacemakers

Certain heart conditions slow down your heartbeat excessively, which can cause dizziness or fatigue. Implanting a cardiac pacemaker ensures your heart maintains an appropriate rhythm continuously.

  • Main Indications: Conditions such as bradycardia or heart block where the natural pacing fails adequately prompt device insertion consideration.
  • Echocardiogram & ECG Use:An electrocardiogram helps detect pacing abnormalities while echocardiography assesses overall cardiac function before implantation.
  • Surgical Procedure:The pacemaker device is implanted under the skin near the collarbone with leads threaded into the heart chambers via veins.
  • Lifestyle Changes Post-Implantation:No heavy lifting on the implantation side initially; regular follow-up visits check device function remotely or in person.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STUDY AND CATHETER ABLATION

Electrophysiology Study and Catheter Ablation

The electrical system controlling your heartbeat can sometimes develop abnormal rhythms. Electrophysiology studies combined with catheter ablation help diagnose and treat these irregularities effectively.

  • Causative Factors: Arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia may cause palpitations, dizziness, or fainting spells.
  • Diagnostic Methodology: Invasive mapping records electrical signals within heart chambers identifying problematic areas precisely.
  • Ablation Therapy: Targeted energy delivery destroys tiny tissue spots responsible for abnormal conduction pathways, restoring normal rhythm.
  • Treatment Outcome Expectations: Many patients achieve significant symptom relief or cure following one session; occasionally repeat procedures are needed.

This approach offers an advanced solution that reduces dependence on medications while improving life quality in arrhythmia sufferers.

TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT (TAVR)

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Severe narrowing of the aortic valve can compromise heart function and require valve replacement. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) offers a minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery for many patients with this condition.

  • Underlying Condition: Aortic stenosis causes obstruction of blood flow from the heart's left ventricle into the aorta, leading to symptoms like fatigue, chest pain, or fainting.
  • Diagnostic Tools: Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization confirm severity and suitability for TAVR.
  • Procedure Details: Through small incisions, a new valve is delivered via catheter and positioned within the diseased native valve without removing it.
  • Recovery Process: Patients generally experience shorter hospital stays compared to traditional surgery and quicker return to daily activities.
  • Follow-up Care: Regular check-ups monitor valve function and patient symptoms over time.

This innovative technique has expanded treatment options particularly for those at higher risk with conventional surgery methods.

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING (CABG)

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

When the blood flow to the heart muscle is significantly blocked, surgical intervention may become necessary to restore adequate circulation. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, commonly known as CABG, is a procedure designed to reroute blood around clogged arteries.

  • Symptoms and Causes: This surgery is typically indicated in patients with severe coronary artery disease causing chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or risk of heart attack.
  • Diagnosis: It is usually recommended after confirming blockages through tests like angiography or stress tests.
  • Treatment Approach: The surgeon creates new pathways using vessels from other parts of the body to bypass narrowed arteries, improving blood supply to the heart.
  • Postoperative Expectations: Recovery involves hospital stay and cardiac rehabilitation; symptoms often improve significantly over time.
  • Long-Term Management: Lifestyle changes and medications are important to maintain graft function and prevent future issues.

This surgery has a long track record of improving quality of life and survival in eligible patients by effectively restoring coronary circulation.
