Heart Health is one of the important factors for a healthy and active lifestyle. And amidst the busy and stressful lifestyle, maintaining and managing a healthy lifestyle for good heart health has become challenging.
Hence, at HCG Hospitals, we understand the importance of cardiac care, which is all centred towards the patient’s requirements. Therefore, rest assured in case of any cardiac emergencies, because, for the best multidisciplinary care HCG is with you.
Our cardiology department excels in a wide range of treatment options, such as heart bypass surgeries and minimally invasive procedures, with our dedicated team of experts ensuring that every patient receives personalised treatments tailored to their unique needs.
Managing heart health is not just about heart issues and illnesses related to the heart, but about understanding heart health to live a more fuller and active life.
Here are some of the complexities around cardiac health,
Common cardiac problems include:
Heart Attack: When the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked for a long time, that part of the heart muscle becomes damaged, leading to chest pain, shortness of breath, and nausea.
Heart Failure: The symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, and tiredness. This isn’t because the heart stops working, but because the heart is incapable of pumping blood in a normal manner.
Heart issues cannot be left unseen, because the sooner the problem is detected, the better the chances for a successful cardiovascular disease treatment. Here is why early diagnosis is key:
Getting to know these basics is the primary step to taking charge of your heart health. This also helps in knowing when to seek medical advice and making informed decisions.
From diagnosis to treatment, let us explore the various treatment options available at HCG Hospitals.
We provide comprehensive services for heart conditions, combining experienced specialists, advanced technology, and customised treatment plans according to the patient’s needs. Various treatment options ranging from diagnosis to surgeries include:
Diagnostic Procedures:
A journey towards a healthy heart begins with the right diagnosis. Therefore, reaching out to an expert medical professional is crucial for an accurate diagnosis. HCG Hospitals provide state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures,which include:
Electrocardiogram (ECG): A simple test, which records the electrical activity of the heart and helps identify the heart conditions that affect the heart rhythm and functioning.
Angiogram: This test uses X-ray imaging to view the blood vessels, which helps detect any blockages in the arteries that might lead to future heart attacks.
Treatment Methods: After the detection of a problem in your heart, our expert team of cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons designs a personalised treatment plan. To ensure a holistic recovery for the patient, treatment plans range from medications to surgical interventions or a combination of both.
Medications: In some cases, medications can do it all for a heart to function well and manage the heart disease effectively. Hence, heart conditions that can be managed via medications are generally treated with medicines to control the symptoms and improve heart function.
Heart Bypass Surgery: For conditions like blood and oxygen flow being stopped from reaching the heart, basically due to a damaged coronary artery, cardiologists consider heart bypass surgery.
Angioplasty: This minimally invasive procedure uses a balloon to widen the blocked or narrowed coronary arteries, often followed by inserting a stent to keep the artery open.
The use of innovations in cardiac treatments has paved the way for better recovery outcomes. At HCG Hospitals, we are committed to advanced heart care, which led us to adopt different technological advancements in the field, such as:
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS): This technique uses minimal or smaller incisions, less pain and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgeries like open heart surgery.
Robotic-assisted Procedures: This procedure offers greater precision and flexibility, which are beneficial for complex heart surgeries.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgeries (MICS): At HCG Hospitals, procedures like MICS and keyhole surgeries have emerged as cutting-edge techniques for complex heart surgeries, making them advantageous for a variety of heart conditions and also providing surgeons with a more convenient and effective method for treating diverse cardiac issues.
