Cardiac Diagnostic Services
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram uses ultrasound waves to produce images of your heart. This test helps in assessing the structure and function of the heart, detecting problems such as heart valve issues, heart chamber size, and the effectiveness of the heart's pumping action.
Stress Testing
This test evaluates how your heart performs under physical stress. It involves walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing are monitored. Stress tests can help diagnose coronary artery disease, heart rhythm problems, and guide treatment plans.
ECG
An ECG records the electrical activity of your heart over a short period. It is used to detect heart rhythm abnormalities, previous heart attacks, and other heart conditions. The test is quick, non-invasive, and provides immediate results.
Holter Monitoring
A Holter monitor is a portable device worn for 24 to 48 hours that continuously records your heart's electrical activity. It helps detect intermittent heart rhythm problems that might not be captured during a standard ECG."
Cardiac MRI
A cardiac MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of your heart and blood vessels. It helps in evaluating heart structures, function, and diagnosing conditions like heart muscle diseases, congenital heart defects, and more.
Interventional Cardiology
Angioplasty and Stenting
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. A small balloon is inflated inside the artery to improve blood flow. Often, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed in the artery to keep it open and reduce the risk of future blockages.
Pacemaker Implantation
A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin that helps regulate abnormal heart rhythms. It sends electrical impulses to the heart to ensure it beats at a normal rate. This procedure is essential for patients with arrhythmias or slow heart rates.
Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization involves inserting a thin, flexible tube (catheter) into a blood vessel in your arm or leg and guiding it to your heart. This procedure is used for both diagnostic and treatment purposes, including assessing heart function, opening blocked arteries, and repairing certain heart defects.
Surgical Services
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
CABG is a surgical procedure that improves blood flow to the heart. It involves taking a healthy blood vessel from another part of your body and using it to bypass a blocked coronary artery. This procedure is often recommended for patients with severe coronary artery disease.
Heart Valve Surgery
Heart valve surgery repairs or replaces diseased heart valves to ensure proper blood flow through the heart. Depending on the condition, procedures may include valve repair, where the existing valve is fixed, or valve replacement with a mechanical or biological valve
Aortic Aneurysm Repair
This surgery is performed to correct an aneurysm (a bulge) in the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Repairing the aneurysm involves reinforcing the affected section of the aorta to prevent rupture.
Preventive Cardiology
Risk Assessment and Management
We offer comprehensive evaluations to identify your risk factors for heart disease. Our team will work with you to develop a personalized plan to manage these risks through lifestyle changes, medications, and monitoring.
Lifestyle Counseling
Our lifestyle counseling services provide guidance on maintaining a heart-healthy diet, incorporating regular physical activity, managing stress, and quitting smoking. These services aim to improve your overall heart health and prevent future cardiovascular issues.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured program designed to help you recover and improve your heart health after a heart attack, surgery, or other heart condition. It includes supervised exercise, education on heart-healthy living, and counseling to reduce stress and improve your quality of life.
Specialized Clinics and Programs
Heart Failure Clinic
Our Heart Failure Clinic offers specialized care for patients with heart failure. The clinic provides advanced treatment options, medication management, lifestyle counseling, and regular monitoring to improve your quality of life and reduce hospital readmissions.
Arrhythmia Management
Our arrhythmia management services include comprehensive evaluation and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. We offer advanced therapies such as ablation, medication management, and device implantation to control and correct abnormal heart rhythms.
Women's Heart Health
Our Women's Heart Health program focuses on the unique cardiovascular needs of women. We provide specialized care, risk assessments, and preventive strategies to address conditions that disproportionately affect women.
Pediatric Cardiology
We offer specialized cardiac care for children with congenital and acquired heart conditions. Our pediatric cardiologists provide diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care tailored to the needs of young patients and their families.
Advanced Heart Therapies
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve that fails to open properly. This procedure is an alternative to open-heart surgery for high-risk patients, offering quicker recovery times and improved outcomes.
Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD)
LVADs are mechanical pumps that help a weakened heart pump blood more effectively. They are used as a bridge to heart transplant or as a long-term solution for patients with advanced heart failure.
Cardiac Genetics
Our cardiac genetics program involves evaluating and managing inherited heart conditions. We provide genetic testing, counseling, and personalized treatment plans to address conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and familial hypercholesterolemia.
