The Best Cardiology & Cardiothoracic Surgery Hospital in Nellore

Services

The department of cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery offers a wide range of medical services, and diagnosis, and treatment of all heart diseases. Our well-known cardiologists are experts at treating problems of the heart, its blood vessels, and other parts of the cardiovascular system.
  • Cardiac Rehabilitation: If you’ve had a heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty, or heart surgery, cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program that aims to enhance your cardiovascular health. A large part of cardiac rehabilitation consists of physical activity, counselling, and education on ways to lower your risk of heart disease, such as making good food choices, keeping a healthy weight, and stopping smoking.
  • Heart Rhythm Monitoring: Patients’ cardiac rhythms may be monitored continuously or intermittently by electrocardiography, and the patient’s condition can be assessed in relation to their cardiac rhythm. Blood pressure and flow in the cardiovascular system can be monitored via hemodynamic monitoring, but this is not the case here. The two procedures may be done at the same time on individuals with a serious cardiac condition. Ambulatory electrocardiography (AEM) is the practice of continuously monitoring a patient’s heart rate and rhythm using a tiny portable instrument (such as a Holter monitor, wireless ambulatory ECG, or an implantable loop recorder). Telemetry, or biotelemetry, refers to the transmission of data from a monitor to a remote monitoring station. The monitoring of arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions (MIs), and QT intervals are the three main focuses of cardiac monitoring in emergency cardiac care.
  • General Cardiology Consultation: We provide a full-fledged cardiology consultation service for our patients. Patients with known or suspected cardiac problems are thoroughly screened and treated by our team of highly trained cardiologists. In order to provide the best possible treatment, our cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons work together whenever possible.
  • Stress Testing: We provide stress testing services in our cardiology department. A stress test is a treadmill exercise test that measures the heart’s performance with the increase in intensity. Stress test findings may help doctors evaluate whether you require a heart transplant or other advanced therapy in certain cases of heart failure. If an exercise stress test fails to identify the source of your symptoms, we may suggest an imaging test, such as a nuclear stress test or an echocardiographic stress test.
  • Echocardiography: An ultrasound of the heart is called an echocardiography, an echocardiogram, a cardiac echo, or just an echo. Ultrasound imaging of the heart using either conventional or doppler technology. It is currently common practice to employ echocardiography in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients with any kind of cardiac disease, whether it is suspected or confirmed.
  • Cardiac Catheterization: During a cardiac catheterization (also known as a cardiac cath), your heart’s function is evaluated. Catheters are put into a big blood artery that travels to your heart via a small opening. Cardiac catheterization aids our physicians in learning vital details about the heart’s muscle, valves, and channels through which blood flows. Cardiac catheterization allows physicians to perform a variety of tests and treatments on the heart, as well as take a sample of heart tissue for further study.
  • Stenting: In order to get to the blockage, the balloon-inflated stent is pushed through the artery. The spring-like stent expands and locks into place within the artery after being inflated with a balloon at the point of obstruction. As long as you keep your arteries open, your heart’s blood supply will be improved. More than one stent may be required to open a blockage in certain patients. The balloon catheter is withdrawn once the stent has been inserted and deflated. A series of angiograms (X-ray scans) are taken to determine how effectively your newly enlarged artery is pumping blood.
  • ASD/PFO Closure: A specific closure device is used for the percutaneous closure of the PFO and ASD. A special catheter, like the one used during catheterization, is used to fold or connect the device. A vein in the leg is used to introduce the catheter, which is then put into the heart and passed through the hole.
  • Electrocardiogram Testing of the Heart’s Electrical Activity: The electrical activity of the heart is measured by an electrocardiogram (ECG). This wave of electricity flows through the heart with each beat. The heart pumps blood out of the body as a result of this wave. For the most part, an ECG provides two basic types of data. Using the ECG, a doctor may first measure how long the electrical wave takes to travel through the heart. For example, determining how long a wave travels between two points in a heart is a good indicator of the electrical activity in the heart.
  • Adult Congenital Heart Surgery Adult surgery is required for a large percentage of people who were born with a congenital heart defect. Adults may get congenital heart surgery with a low risk of complications and death.
  • Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection Repair: Aortic aneurysm repair using this technique is the most common, but it is also the most intrusive, requiring your doctor to perform an invasive procedure. When your aorta is damaged, your surgeon replaces it with a tube, or “transplant,” made of a particular fabric.
  • Aortic Valve Repair and Replacement: A surgical procedure known as valvuloplasty may be necessary to repair the cusps of the aortic valve. The damaged aortic valve is removed and a new artificial aortic valve is implanted during aortic valve replacement surgery.
  • Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery: CABG surgery is an operation in which the heart’s blood flow is restored. Those who have clogged arteries may consider the surgery. Surgeons remove blood vessels from the limbs and link them to the occluded artery either above or below it. The surgery establishes a new path for blood to go to the heart and redirects it.
  • Heart Surgery for Older Adults Cardiac surgery may be done successfully on people above the age of 85. Patients over the age of 65 are more likely to need more time in the hospital. Selective criteria may detect risk factors for this patient group and predict consistently effective results.
  • Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery: In minimally invasive heart surgery, tiny incisions are used to conduct a traditional procedure on or within the heart. It is not uncommon for the surgeon to employ specialist tools during the procedure. In order to perform the operation in the safest and most effective manner possible, our surgeons constantly aim for the tiniest possible incision. The pros and downsides of minimally invasive surgery will be thoroughly evaluated by your surgical team. The kind of cardiac disease you have and how serious it is; your age, medical history, and lifestyle; and the findings of pre-surgery testing will all play a role in your surgeon’s decision-making process.
  • Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement: The native valve tissues may be reconstructed to restore normal valvular structure and function for the repair of the mitral valve. Surgery to repair or replace a leaking or stiff mitral valve in the heart is called mitral valve repair or mitral valve replacement.
  • Paediatric Heart Surgery: Children’s heart surgery is performed to correct birth abnormalities in the heart (congenital heart defects) as well as disorders of the heart that develop after birth and need surgery. It is done if the child’s health is at stake, and surgery is the only treatment option.
  • Robotic Heart Surgery: Using robotic equipment, small cameras, and precise tools, robotic heart surgery, a minimally invasive technique for heart surgery, is performed. It avoids making a big incision or cutting through the breastbone to get access to the heart.
  • Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (CryoMAZE) Arrhythmias may be treated with the CryoMAZE surgical treatment, which can halt the passage of misdirected electrical impulses. Frozen temperatures are used to treat the pulmonary vein region, which is the most probable location for abnormal electrical impulses.
  • Transcatheter Valve Replacement (TAVR): The old, faulty valve is not removed during this minimally invasive surgical technique. Instead, a new aortic valve is wedged in its place. Restoration of blood flow and alleviation of symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fainting and weariness are possible outcomes of TAVR treatment for aortic valve stenosis patients.
  • Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) Placement: A VSD, or a mechanical circulatory support device, is a medical device that assists the heart’s bottom chambers (the ventricles) in pumping blood out of the body. While you wait for a heart transplant, surgery to install a VAD may be necessary. Alternatively, surgery to permanently assist your heart in producing adequate blood flow may be required.
  • Anticoagulation Therapy and Management for Heart Valve Patients: We offer anticoagulation therapy and management for heart valve patients. Patients are given anticoagulant drugs in order to reduce the rate at which their blood clots, and anticoagulant treatment is considered a kind of pharmacological therapy. Deep vein thrombosis and atrial fibrillation are two of the most common indications for anticoagulant medication. We provide complete management to all those in need of anticoagulation therapy.
