Cardiology
Consultatoins
Cardiology primarily focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and disorders that affect the heart. Not only do these consultations play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of a heart condition, they are also crucial in educating the patient on lifestyle changes required to prevent the condition from worsening or to hasten the recovery process.
Echocardiography
An echocardiography or simply an echo, is an ultrasound of the heart. It is a type of medical imaging of the heart, using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. Echocardiography has become routinely used in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of patients with any suspected or known heart diseases. It is one of the most widely used diagnostic tests in cardiology. It can provide a wealth of helpful information, including the size and shape of the heart
Angiography
Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers. At heart surgery associates we provide you with best cardiologist for angiography services.
Angioplasty
A coronary angioplasty is a therapeutic procedure to treat the narrowed coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease. These stenotic segments of the coronary arteries arise due to the buildup of cholesterol-laden plaques that form in a condition known as atherosclerosis. A percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary angioplasty with stenting, is a non-surgical procedure used to improve the blood flow to the heart.
ETT
An exercise tolerance test (ETT) records the electrical activity of your heart whilst you exercise. It is most useful in patients who experience chest pain when they exert themselves. It is also used to detect whether heart rhythm abnormalities can be brought on by exercise
ECG
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the electrical signal from your heart to check for different heart conditions. Electrodes are placed on your chest to record your heart’s electrical signals, which cause your heart to beat. The signals are shown as waves on an attached computer monitor or printer.
