Cardiology is the branch of science (medical science), that deals with disorders in the functions of the heart. It involves a medical diagnosis and treatment process that depends upon the defect. Some of the defects include coronary heart disease, heart failure, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, etc. The heart is the most primordial organ which is the circuit for blood circulation. Blood from the heart is pumped to various parts of the body through the lungs and Received blood back into it. It plays a key role in the pumping process so that all parts of the body receive an adequate amount of blood. If any malfunction happens in this pumping process, it means to other parts of the body too. We are the best hospital for cardiology in Chennai, giving our patients complete care for various heart problems. Our services include Interventional Cardiology Services. Among the other special services for adults and children are Cardiac catheterization & coronary angiography Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to diagnose and treat heart disease.
In this process, a long flexible and thin tube called a catheter is injected into the blood vessel of the patient either through the arm or through the thigh groin (upper neck). This catheter gives a clear picture to the physician regarding the defect. In this procedure the physician applies a specific dye in the catheter which through the blood stream reaches the heart quickly. This dye helps the physician to study the coronary arteries of the patient through an X-ray. This test is named angiography.
This nonsurgical therapy is widely used to clear blockages in the arteries. Stenting is another optional procedure used during angioplasty. The preceding procedure of angioplasty is cardiac catheterization. Blood flows into the heart through a coronary artery. It is the principal artery that carries blood to the heart. In some people, especially in older age groups coronary artery is narrowed and hardened which leads to coronary heart disease. When blood to the heart is blocked at this place, it leads to severe heart pain called angina. Coronary angioplasty is crucial and the most recommended procedure after heart attack treatment.
As the name suggests this therapy is used to clear blockages in the valves. Heart valves function as a gateway to the flow of blood during the pumping process. Hence if any blockage happens here it becomes a severe problem. Balloon valvuloplasty is a therapy, where a balloon is used to stretch the valve and to break up the scars present in the valve. This therapy replaces the surgical procedure of opening the heart. During this process, the patient first undergoes catheterization where a catheter is injected through the blood vessel. Another small catheter which has a small balloon in its tip is also injected along the main catcher. The balloon contains a specific dye that helps the physician to see the whole procedure taking place inside. The balloon reaching the valve will be inflated so that the valve gets opened. This inflation process continues until the block gets completely removed. Our doctor receives all information through an X-ray.
The whole procedure takes place after the patient is anesthetized. Heart function, blood pressure and other important criteria will be monitored at regular intervals. Chronic total occlusions.
Some of the symptoms of coronary artery CTO are Nausea, cold sweat, fatigue, rapid and irregular heartbeat, dizziness or lightheadedness, angina or chest pain and pain in the upper body and arm.
