Our Cardiac Care department offers a specialized range of treatments, focusing on advanced procedures to manage and treat complex heart conditions. Our key treatment options include:

• Coronary Angiogram: A diagnostic procedure that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize the arteries of the heart, helping identify blockages or other heart conditions.
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): A device implanted in the chest to monitor heart rhythms and deliver shocks if dangerous arrhythmias are detected, preventing sudden cardiac arrest.
• Permanent Pacemaker Implantation: A procedure to implant a device that regulates slow or irregular heart rhythms, ensuring the heart maintains a healthy rhythm.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Also known as angioplasty, PCI involves using a catheter to widen narrowed coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart.
• Balloon Mitral Valvotomy: A minimally invasive procedure to treat mitral valve stenosis by inflating a balloon inside the valve to widen the opening and improve blood flow.
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): A treatment for heart failure that uses a specialized pacemaker to improve the timing of the heart's contractions, enhancing its efficiency.
• Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP): A mechanical device that helps the heart pump more effectively, used in patients with severe heart conditions.

Understanding when to seek medical advice for heart-related issues is crucial. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it’s important to consult a cardiologist:

• Chest Pain: Unexplained or persistent chest pain could be a sign of a heart attack or other serious cardiac issue.
• Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing during daily activities or at rest may indicate heart failure or another cardiovascular condition.
• Irregular Heartbeat: Experiencing fluttering or a rapid heartbeat can signal arrhythmia, which could lead to complications if untreated.
• Swelling in the Legs, Ankles, or Feet: This could be a sign of fluid retention linked to heart failure and should be checked immediately.
• Dizziness or Fainting: Sudden dizziness or fainting episodes may point to heart arrhythmias or other issues affecting blood flow.
• High Blood Pressure: If your blood pressure remains high over time, even without symptoms, it can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Fatigue and Weakness: If you're feeling unusually tired, especially with shortness of breath or chest pain, this could be a sign of heart disease.
