Cardiology
Cardiology is that branch of medicine that specifically deals with diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases which includes congenital (present at birth) as well as acquired- like coronary heart disease, valvular heart diseases, cardiomyopathies, pericardial diseases etc through catheter-based procedures, such as angioplasty, stenting etc.
Interventional cardiology offers an advantage of avoiding scars and pain and long post-operative recovery period. A number of procedures can be performed by catheterisation of heart and vessels like the coronary artery, peripheral artery or vein and the renal artery. It involves insertion of a sheath into the radial or femoral artery and cannulating the heart under the x-ray vision.
Primary Angioplasty is now the standard procedure for treating acute myocardial infarction or acute heart attack. It involves removal of blood clots from the coronary arteries with or without the use of stents. It preserves the pumping function of the heart, so that the patient will have less chances of heart failure in future.
Our cardiologists are trained in premier institutions in India and abroad and are experts in Evidence-based medicine and international treatment protocols.
At Mitras Nursing Home we provide both outpatient and inpatient treatments for patients with cardiac disorders. The multidisciplinary approach to cardiology is supported by the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), High Dependency Wards (HDW), LABORATORY MEDICINE / PATHOLOGY, RADIOLOGY & IMAGING SERVICES ( MRI, CT & ULTRASONOGRAPHY, ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY) and 24 hour Ambulance Service.
Treatments and Procedures offered:
- Outpatient cardiology clinics every day of the week
- Inpatient treatment of cardiac emergencies
- Angioplasty: also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for treatment of coronary artery disease.
- Valvuloplasty: for dilatation of narrowed cardiac valves, which help regulate the blood flow through the chambers of the heart.
- Congenital heart defect correction: like atrial and ventricular septal defects- device closures, device closure of patent ductus arteriosus and angioplasty of greater vessels- aorta/ PA branches
- Percutaneous valve replacement: an alternative to open heart surgery
- Per cutaneous valve repair on the mitral and pulmonary valve
- Coronary thrombectomy which involves removing of a blood clot from the coronary arteries
- Peripheral Vascular Disease intervention which involves the other arteries like renal, carotids, subclavian, mesenteric, femoral or distal lower limb vessels
