Echocardiography :

Cardiologists of our Hospital can evaluate the heart valves and blood flow pattern and access the heart size by applying A 2-D echocardiogram an ultrasound procedure of the heart using high-frequency sound waves to create a digital image of the heart’s chambers and valves. When enhanced ultrasound imaging is required a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) can be performed, a sterile flexible probe is passed into the patient’s esophagus with local anesthesia and sedation. Exquisite images of the heart are obtainable

Cardiac Stress Testing :

Treadmill stress testing evaluates the heart’s response to increased activities. This test is used to diagnose coronary artery disease, and to monitor those patients with established disease.

Electrocardiography :

An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmias. An ECG can also show evidence of old heart attack or acute cardiac problems.

The Department routinely performs :

• Angiographies –Coronary, Peripheral, Carotid and Renal
• Angioplasties –Coronary, Carotid, Renal & Emergency revascularization including Primary PCI
• Balloon Mitral Valvotomy
• Balloon Pulmonary Valvotomy
• Aortic valvuloplasty
• Balloon Dilation of Co-arctation of Aorta
• Device closure & Interventions of Congenital Heart Disease
• EP Study and Radio Frequency Ablation of Various Tachyarrhythmia’s
• Temporary and Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (ICD, Bi-Ventricular Pacing)
• IVC Filter Implantation for VTE

The average Door to Balloon time at Ashtvinayak Hospital is less than 45 minutes which is comparable to best centers in India.

Cardiac Rehabilitation :

Cardiac Rehab is an individually planned, medically supervised program of exercise training, education, stress management and nutritional counseling. It is designed to develop and maintain a more efficient cardiovascular system and a healthier, more enjoyable lifestyle. This certified program is for individuals who have experienced angina, a heart attack, or who have undergone angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery within the last 12 months.
