What We Treat
Heart Conditions Treated by Our Expert Cardiologists
From common conditions like hypertension to complex structural heart disease, our specialists deliver evidence-based, personalised care at every stage.
01
Coronary Artery Disease (Blockages)
Plaque buildup inside coronary arteries reduces oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart, increasing risk of angina and heart attack. Early angiography and stenting can restore circulation effectively.
02
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
When blood flow is blocked by a ruptured clot, immediate emergency angioplasty or thrombolysis at our Cardiac ICU minimises damage and saves lives around the clock.
03
Heart Failure
When the heart cannot pump effectively, breathlessness, fatigue, and fluid retention result. We monitor with 2D and 3D echocardiography and provide close HDU care and personalised medication management.
04
Arrhythmias (Irregular Heartbeat)
From benign extrasystoles to serious atrial fibrillation, rhythm disorders are managed with antiarrhythmic therapy, catheter ablation, or pacemaker implantation using advanced electrophysiology mapping.
05
Heart Valve Disorders
Valve stenosis or regurgitation affects blood flow, causing fatigue and breathlessness. Advanced echocardiography and CT angiography enable early detection, and we plan repair or replacement with precision.
06
Hypertension & High Cholesterol
Persistent high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol are major risk factors for stroke and heart failure. We monitor vascular health and offer personalised plans through lifestyle guidance and medication.
07
Congenital Heart Conditions
Structural abnormalities present from birth — septal defects, valve malformations, or Tetralogy of Fallot — are managed with paediatric cardiac imaging and, when necessary, precise surgical correction.
08
Preventive Cardiology
Comprehensive risk stratification, lipid management, and tailored prevention programmes designed to reduce cardiovascular disease burden in high-risk individuals through proactive monitoring and lifestyle intervention.
09
Paediatric Cardiology
Specialised cardiac care for newborns, children, and adolescents with congenital and acquired heart conditions, delivered in a child-friendly environment with dedicated family-centred support.
Our Procedures
Treatments & Advanced Cardiac Procedures
From non-invasive diagnostics to complex cardiac surgery, our comprehensive treatment range covers every aspect of heart care.
Non-Invasive Treatments
Safe, medication & monitoring based
ECG & Holter Monitoring — Tracks heart's electrical activity to detect rhythm issues, heart attacks, and abnormalities over 24–48 hours.
Carotid Doppler — Ultrasound-based test checking blood flow in carotid arteries to prevent stroke and monitor vascular health.
Medication Management — Monitoring and adjustment of medicines for heart rhythm, blood pressure, and cholesterol control.
Lifestyle & Diet Counselling — Heart-friendly lifestyle guidance to reduce cardiovascular risk and improve long-term outcomes.
Cardiac Rehabilitation — Structured post-event recovery programmes to restore strength and prevent recurrence.
Stress Testing (TMT) — Evaluates the heart's response to exertion, helping identify hidden coronary artery disease.
Interventional Cardiology
Minimally invasive precision procedures
Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting — Opening blocked arteries with stents to restore blood flow to the heart muscle.
Coronary Angiography — Diagnostic contrast imaging to detect coronary blockages and plan treatment precisely.
Pacemaker & ICD Implantation — Devices that regulate heart rhythm and prevent life-threatening electrical disturbances.
Balloon Valvulotomy — Widening narrowed heart valves using a balloon catheter to improve blood flow and function.
Electrophysiology & Ablation — Mapping and eliminating abnormal rhythm pathways with precise energy pulses.
Peripheral Vascular Interventions — Treatment of blocked arteries in limbs and vessels through catheter-based techniques.
Cardiac Surgery
Complex open-heart interventions
Bypass Surgery (CABG) — Creating new pathways around blocked arteries to restore oxygen supply to the heart.
Valve Replacement or Repair — Repairing or replacing damaged heart valves to restore proper blood flow and cardiac function.
Congenital Heart Surgery — Structural defect correction in children and adults with paediatric cardiac imaging support.
Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery — Smaller incision techniques for faster recovery and fewer post-operative complications.
Pericardiectomy — Surgical treatment of chronic pericarditis or constrictive pericardial disease.
Ventricular Aneurysm Repair — Correction of ventricular wall damage following a heart attack to restore normal cardiac shape and function.
