At Aster CMI Hospital, our Cardiac Department specializes in a comprehensive array of diagnostic procedures essential for evaluating and treating cardiovascular conditions. Here's how we excel in each of these key diagnostic techniques:
Coronary Angiogram:
Our experienced cardiologists perform coronary angiograms with unparalleled precision and expertise, utilizing both transradial and transfemoral approaches to ensure optimal patient outcomes. We leverage state-of-the-art imaging technology to provide detailed assessments of coronary artery anatomy, facilitating accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for coronary artery disease.
Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS):
Our Cardiac Department is equipped with advanced IVUS technology, enabling our specialists to obtain highly detailed intravascular images during complex interventions. With IVUS-guided procedures, we achieve exceptional precision in assessing plaque characteristics, vessel dimensions, and stenosis severity, leading to more effective treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes.
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR):
We prioritize the use of FFR to assess the functional significance of coronary artery blockages and guide optimal treatment decisions. Our cardiologists are skilled in performing FFR measurements to accurately identify lesions requiring intervention, ensuring a tailored approach that maximizes treatment efficacy and minimizes procedural risks.
Cardiac Catheterization:
In our Cardiac Department, cardiac catheterization procedures are conducted with meticulous care and attention to detail, allowing for comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular function. With advanced catheterization techniques, we assess hemodynamic parameters, measure pressure differentials, and accurately diagnose congenital heart defects and valve abnormalities, providing patients with precise diagnostic insights and tailored treatment plans.
Electrophysiology Studies (EPS):
EPS involves the insertion of specialized catheters into the heart to assess its electrical activity and diagnose arrhythmias. This procedure helps identify the source of abnormal heart rhythms and guides the selection of appropriate treatment strategies, such as catheter ablation or implantable device therapy.
Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE):
ICE is a catheter-based imaging technique used to visualize cardiac structures and guide interventions with high resolution and real-time imaging. It provides detailed images of the heart's chambers, valves, and surrounding structures, enhancing the accuracy and safety of interventional procedures such as atrial septal defect closure or left atrial appendage occlusion.
Pressure Wire Studies:
Pressure wire studies involve the use of specialized wires to measure intracoronary pressures and assess the functional significance of coronary artery lesions. By evaluating pressure gradients across stenotic lesions, this technique helps determine the need for revascularization and optimizes treatment decisions in patients with coronary artery disease.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):
OCT is an imaging modality that provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of coronary arteries using light waves. It allows for detailed visualization of coronary plaque morphology and characterization, aiding in the assessment of lesion severity and guiding optimal stent placement during percutaneous coronary intervention.
At Aster CMI Hospital, our commitment to excellence in cardiac care is reflected in our specialized expertise in these diagnostic procedures. With a focus on innovation, precision, and patient-centric care, we strive to deliver superior outcomes and unparalleled quality in the management of cardiovascular conditions.
