Cardiology is a medical specialty entailing the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the heart.
The Department of Cardiology at Sagar Hospitals epitomizes the advanced therapies in elective and emergency care provided by doctors of the highest quality. The 128 slice CT installed here for the first time in India delivers much more than just excellent image quality. It helps in reducing radiation by 80% during scan and prepares your angiogram within minutes.
Apart from consultation for all cardiac ailments and emphasis on preventive cardiology, the service comprises of a comprehensive range of non-invasive investigational facilities, cardiac catheterization and angiography with a range of interventional cardiology procedures.
Department of Cardiology
List of Services offered:
Outpatient Consultation and exclusive Cardiac Health Checks.
Stress Testing - Exercise ECG stress testing to look for as well as rule out blockages in heart arteries. Tilt Table Testing - for diagnosing fainting disorders.
Admission and In-patient Management - for all acute as well as chronic cardiac conditions.
ICU Management - for critical cardiac conditions including heart attacks.
Echocardiography (ECG) - for visualization of the heart to diagnose various conditions. This includes Stress Echocardiography for detecting a possibility of blockages in heart arteries and Transesophageal Echocardiography where the heart is visualized through an ultrasound probe inserted internally.
Coronary Angiography, Angioplasty and Stenting - Direct imaging of the heart arteries is performed by injecting contrast agents into these arteries to detect blockages. This department specializes in treating these blockages using balloons and placement of stents. These procedures are performed in a State-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization.
Laboratory with the latest Siemens Axiom Artis digital imaging system. This system contains the latest flat panel detector providing impeccable image quality with minimal radiation exposure. This system also has provision for Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) from head to toe.
Emergency Angioplasty for Heart Attacks - This involves opening up completely blocked arteries, as soon as a heart attack victim arrives at the hospital. This procedure is proven to be the most beneficial treatment option for suitable patients with a heart attack and is the standard practice in reputed international centres. This service is available round-the-clock.
Pacemaker Implantation - Placement of permanent pacemakers for various types of heart blocks.
Electro physiologic Study - The 64 channel Cardiac Electrophysiology Recorder (Axiom Sensis) is a state-of-the-art system providing Intra Cardiac Signals at high resolution for diagnosis and radio frequency ablative treatment of heart rhythm problems. A three dimensional arrhythmia mapping system (Real Time Position Management) enables us to map and ablate complex rhythm disorders of the heart.
CARDIOTHORACIC SURGERY
Cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery are separate surgical specialties, but are frequently grouped together as cardiothoracic surgery. Cardiac surgery generally refers to surgery of the heart and great vessels, and thoracic surgery generally refers to surgery of the chest other than the heart. A cardiothoracic surgeon will perform surgery within the realm of both cardiac and thoracic surgery.
