Cardiology Treatments
Cardiac Catheterization
Procedure Steps
- Patients undergo local anesthesia to ensure comfort and minimize discomfort during the procedure.
- Cardiologists utilize specialized catheters to access the heart through blood vessels.
- Contrast dye may be injected to enhance visualization of the heart's structures and blood flow.
- Various diagnostic tests, such as angiography, may be performed to assess cardiac function and identify any abnormalities.
- In some cases, therapeutic interventions like angioplasty or stent placement may be conducted during the procedure.
Benefits
Provides valuable diagnostic information about the heart's structure and function.
Allows for the identification of coronary artery disease, valve abnormalities and other cardiac conditions.
Enables timely intervention and treatment of cardiac issues, potentially preventing complications.
Minimally invasive approach reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.
Angioplasty and Stent Placement
Procedure Steps
- Cardiologists perform angioplasty to widen narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.
- A balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into the affected artery and inflated to compress plaque buildup and restore blood flow.
- In some cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) may be inserted to help keep the artery open and prevent re-narrowing.
Benefits
Relieves symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
Improves blood flow to the heart, reducing the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular complications.
Enhances overall cardiac function and quality of life for patients with coronary artery disease.
Minimally invasive approach results in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries.
Arrhythmia Management
Procedure Steps
- Cardiologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardia.
- Treatment options may include medications, lifestyle modifications, cardiac ablation, or implantable devices like pacemakers or defibrillators.
- Cardiac ablation procedures involve the use of heat or cold energy to destroy abnormal heart tissue responsible for causing arrhythmias.
- Implantable devices help regulate heart rhythm and prevent dangerous arrhythmias, improving overall cardiac function and reducing the risk of complications.
- Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential to assess treatment effectiveness and adjust interventions as needed.
Benefits
Restores normal heart rhythm, alleviating symptoms like palpitations, dizziness and fatigue.
Reduces the risk of complications associated with untreated arrhythmias, such as stroke or heart failure.
Improves quality of life by promoting cardiac stability and reducing symptoms related to arrhythmias.
Provides peace of mind and reassurance for patients living with cardiac arrhythmias, knowing that effective treatments are available.
