Interventional Cardiology
At Apex Heart Hospital, we are proud to offer advanced interventional cardiology services as part of our mission to deliver comprehensive, world-class cardiac care. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure, combined with the expertise of experienced cardiologists, ensures that patients receive prompt, precise, and minimally invasive treatment for a wide range of heart conditions.
What is Interventional Cardiology?
Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty of cardiology that deals with catheter-based procedures to diagnose and treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, interventional procedures are minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions or punctures. This leads to quicker recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications for the patient.
Conditions We Treat
At Apex Heart Hospital, our interventional cardiology team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of:
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- Angina (chest pain)
- Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
- Congenital Heart Defects
- Structural Heart Disease
- Heart valve disorders
- Using real-time imaging techniques like fluoroscopy, we identify and treat blockages or abnormalities in the coronary arteries, improving blood flow and heart function.
Key Interventional Procedures Performed
Our hospital offers a wide array of interventional procedures, including:
1. Coronary Angiography
A diagnostic procedure used to detect blockages in the coronary arteries by injecting contrast dye and capturing X-ray images.
2. Angioplasty and Stent Placement
A life-saving treatment for heart attacks and severe angina, angioplasty uses a balloon to open narrowed arteries, followed by the placement of a stent to keep the artery open.
3. Pacemaker and ICD Implantation
We implant advanced cardiac devices like pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) to manage arrhythmias and prevent sudden cardiac arrest.
4. Balloon Valvuloplasty
A procedure used to treat narrowed heart valves by using a balloon catheter to widen the valve opening.
5. Peripheral Angioplasty
Used to restore blood flow in narrowed arteries of the legs or other peripheral areas, helping to relieve symptoms and prevent limb loss.
