Heart Diagnostic Procedures in India

Some of the greatest medical advances in recent years have come in the area of diagnostic procedures that allow doctors to see inside the heart and to evaluate how blood flows through the heart’s chambers and major blood vessels.

Procedures such as cardiac catheterization, angiography, Electrophysiology Studiesand nuclear cardiology allow doctors to diagnose heart and blood vessel conditions with greater precision and accuracy. This, in turn, offers patients a greater potential for a rapid, uncomplicated recovery from surgery or other treatment for heart and vascular disorders.

Diagnostic procedures available at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute include : –

• Angiography
• Arrhythmia diagnosis
• Cardiovascular Intervention Center
• Echocardiography, including transesophageal echocardiography, pacing echocardiography and stress and dobutamine echocardiology
• Electrocardiograms
• Electrophysiology Laboratory
• Genetic risk assessment
• Heart Watch
• Nuclear Imaging
• Stress testing
• Tilt table studies

In this treatment, blood is withdrawn using catheters (small tubes) inserted into veins in the arm, leg, or neck. The blood is then passed through a filter that removes excess fluid and is returned to the body. Studies have shown that ultrafiltration can remove more fluid at a faster rate than medication. The length of each treatment depends on the rate at which fluid can be removed from the body and the amount that must be removed.
