Cardiology

Heart disease relates specifically to the heart, while cardiovascular disease affects the heart, the blood vessels, or both. Nuclear cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, and echocardiography are subspecialties within the area of cardiology. Numerous heart conditions, including hypertension, pericarditis, ventricular tachycardia, congenital heart disease, coronary heart disease, congestive heart disease, arrhythmias, hypertension, high blood pressure, and triglycerides and many others.

A cardiologist will examine the patient physically and go over their medical history. Along with performing some tests, they might assess the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, lung capacity, weight, and blood vessels. Procedures including coronary thrombectomies, valvuloplasties, stenting, angioplasties, and repairs of congenital heart defects can all be performed by an interventional cardiologist.

Several procedures are associated with cardiology. Some of the main procedures include:

• ·     Cardiac catheterization: A tiny tube in or close to the heart gathers information and could be used to clear a blockage. It has the ability to acquire images and assess the electrical and cardiac systems' functionality. Conditions of the heart, valves, and coronary arteries that are congenital can be treated with catheter-based methods and fluoroscopy.
• ·      Biventricular pacing – Also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, this involves using a pacemaker to help the left and right ventricle pump in harmony to improve the overall output capacity of the heart.
• ·    Angioplasty & Stent Placement: A cardiac surgery called coronary angioplasty helps to unclog heart arteries. A tiny balloon catheter is inserted through the restricted artery by the doctor to release it.
• ·     Rotational atherectomy: During the treatment, a tiny revolving blade is used to widen an artery and allow blood to flow back to the heart. To maintain the artery open and stop it from narrowing again, a tiny mesh tube known as a stent is frequently placed inside of it.
• ·    Cardiovascular magnetic resonance - A heart transplant involves surgery to remove a patient's damaged heart and replace it with a healthy donor heart. An intricate picture of the heart can be obtained via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can be used to assess both the architecture and function of the heart. This aids in the diagnosis of particular illnesses, such as cardiomyopathies or conditions affecting the heart's outer lining.
• ·      Heart Transplant Surgery- Heart-related magnetic resonance imaging An intricate picture of the heart can be obtained via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can be used to assess both the architecture and function of the heart. This aids in the diagnosis of some illnesses, such as disorders of the heart's outer lining or cardiomyopathies, or diseases affecting the heart muscle.

All these procedures are some of the topmost surgeries that are in the cardiology department. The surgeries are performed by leading cardiologists and under excellent and top-notch technologies.
