Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

CARDIAC REHABILITATION

Cardiac Rehabilitation

This medically supervised program focuses on improving cardiovascular health following events such as heart attacks or cardiac surgeries. The goal is comprehensive recovery through lifestyle modification and physical conditioning tailored individually.

PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION

Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is an implantable device that regulates an abnormally slow heartbeat by sending electrical impulses directly to the heart muscle. This ensures adequate heart rate and rhythm are maintained for optimal function.

  • Causative conditions: Indicated in cases of bradycardia caused by sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular block leading to fatigue, dizziness or syncope symptoms.Pre-operative evaluation:< /str ong >Includes ECGs , Holter monitor results , echocardiograms , plus clinical examination .
  • < str ong >Procedure details:< /str ong > The pacemaker leads are inserted through veins into the heart chambers via a small incision usually under local anesthesia ; then connected to a generator placed below the collarbone .
  • < str ong >Post implant care:< /str ong > Regular follow-ups are necessary for device checks and battery status monitoring .
  • < str ong >Outcomes:< /str ong > Most recipients experience significant symptom relief with improved quality of life .

This lifesaving technology effectively manages arrhythmias causing slow heartbeat in many patients safely with advances allowing smaller devices that improve comfort .

STRESS TESTING (TREADMILL TEST)

Stress Testing (Treadmill Test)

The stress test evaluates how well your heart functions under physical exertion. It involves monitoring ECG changes while you walk on a treadmill at gradually increasing intensity levels.

  • Syndrome detection: Helps uncover hidden coronary artery disease causing chest discomfort during exercise but not at rest.
  • The procedure: Electrodes are attached before controlled exercise while vital signs are closely monitored throughout the test duration.
  • Disease evaluation: Identifies abnormal heart rhythms or inadequate blood supply under stress conditions which may require further investigations.
  • Treatment implications: Results can inform lifestyle advice, medication review, or referral for advanced interventions like angioplasty if blockages found.

A well-conducted stress test is safe and invaluable for assessing exercise tolerance and cardiovascular risk stratification effectively in outpatient care settings.

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Echocardiography

Echocardiography uses ultrasound waves to produce real-time images of the heart's structure and function. This diagnostic tool helps assess various cardiac conditions without any discomfort or exposure to radiation.

  • Pain-free assessment: Non-invasive scan performed using a wand-like device placed on the chest wall.
  • Detection capabilities: Evaluates heart chambers, valves, ejection fraction, and blood flow abnormalities with Doppler imaging.
  • Common uses: Identifies valve diseases, cardiomyopathies, pericardial effusions, and congenital defects.
  • Treatment planning: Findings help guide medical management or need for surgery depending on severity.

This versatile test provides essential information about cardiac health quickly and safely in an outpatient setting.

HOLTER MONITORING

Holter Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a non-invasive method used to continuously record the electrical activity of your heart over 24-48 hours. This helps detect abnormal rhythms that may not appear during a standard ECG test.

  • Symptom identification: Useful for patients experiencing palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fainting spells.
  • Procedure: A small portable device is attached via electrodes on the chest and worn throughout daily activities.
  • Interpretation: Recorded data is analyzed by specialists to identify arrhythmias or intermittent conduction problems.
  • Treatment guidance: Results help guide decisions about medication adjustments or further interventions like pacemakers.

This monitoring provides valuable insight into heart function during normal life, aiding accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning.

CORONARY ANGIOPLASTY

Coronary Angioplasty

Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels supplying the heart. It helps restore proper blood flow and alleviate symptoms related to coronary artery disease.

  • Symptoms/causes: Blockages due to plaque build-up can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart attacks.
  • Diagnosis: Typically diagnosed with stress tests, ECG, and confirmed by coronary angiography imaging.
  • Treatment: During angioplasty, a catheter with a balloon is guided to the blockage site and inflated to widen the artery; often a stent is placed to keep it open.
  • Management: Patients usually require antiplatelet therapy post-procedure and lifestyle changes for long-term success.
  • Expectations: Most patients experience rapid relief of symptoms with a short hospital stay and quick recovery.

This approach offers an effective way to improve quality of life in those affected by artery narrowing, reducing risk of serious cardiac events.
