Interventional Cardiology
A Human Heart comprises arteries, vessels, valves and walls. Any of these parts are vulnerable to wear and tear. In this case, Interventional Cardiology could be used to treat the problem.
Interventional Cardiology is a non-surgical treatment that is primarily used to repair the arteries and vessels present in a human heart. Only a special team of cardiologists perform the task as it is very different from an open-heart surgery that is usually performed by traditional cardiologists.
Various diagnostic tools and imaging are used to clarify the issues related to the heart. Doctors can pick from a variety of therapeutic procedures available in order to heal the disorder. The choice majorly depends on the extent of the severity of the disorder. It is necessary to visit the best Cardiac Care Center in this situation in order to avail yourself of the best services and expert aftercare.
What is Interventional Cardiology?
Interventional cardiology is a special type of cardiology that uses non-surgical methods to repair the damaged or weakened vessels and arteries present in a human heart. For this purpose, experts use a special tube called a catheter.
Some of the most popular Interventional Cardiology procedures include Angioplasty, Stenting, and Cardiac Catheterization. The treatment is undertaken only after a long diagnostic procedure in order to identify the accurate issues.
When is Interventional Cardiology undertaken?
The treatment is majorly undertaken to cure various cardiovascular diseases. Coronary artery disease, vascular disease, structural heart disease, and congenital heart defects can be treated using the treatment.
Any problem relating to the four chambers of the human heart can be diagnosed and treated using the method. Any abnormalities in the structure of the heart at the time of birth or other coronary artery disorders can be dealt with. The method is one of the finest Cardiac Care procedures.
Specialised Doctors
Interventional cardiology is not performed by any cardiologist. A specialised team of doctors are known to perform this procedure.
They usually undergo some extra years of education and practice in order to undertake the task. They are required to gain a postgraduate degree and training that can take up to 6-8 years in all. The doctors are highly qualified and must have a general cardiology fellowship in order to perform the cardiology. They are the most qualified subspecialist in the field of medicine.
These specialised doctors are available in some of the best Cardiac Hospitals like Hriyaan Heart Beat Cardiac Care. We guarantee expert services with a group of expert doctors.
Diagnosis
In order to diagnose various heart-related issues, we undertake a wide range of diagnoses. Cardiovascular imaging is mainly used to study and manage various vascular disorders. Here are a few tests that are usually undertaken.
Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT)
This tomography uses X-rays and images to capture the cross-sectional views of the heart. Various aortic diseases, pericardial diseases and problems related to coronary arteries and pulmonary veins can be diagnosed using this technique. Many advances have been made in this tomography. Nowadays, electron-beam CT (EBCT), multi-detector CT (MDCT), and single-photon emission CT (SPECT) are used to diagnose heart-related issues.
Intravascular Ultrasound
In this test, doctors use ultrasound waves to diagnose the flow of blood through the arteries. The amount of blood supply and its pressure can be calculated using this technique.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
This is one of the most popular forms of imaging. MRI uses magnetic power to capture images of the muscles present in the body. The stricture of the heart and its chamber can be studied using this technique. The majority of heart Hospitals use this technique of imaging.
Coronary Angiography
This is an advanced form of imaging in which a contrasting dye is injected into the veins. This gives a clear picture of the insides. Blockages and any kind of disorder can be studied using this technique.
Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
In this technique, images are captured, and all the unwanted parts, like muscles and bones, are removed, i.e., subtracted from the images. This gives a clear picture of the veins and arteries making it easier to diagnose the issue.
Echocardiogram
This technique is highly profitable for studying the changes in blood pressure, the thickness of the wall and disorders in any other chamber. Echocardiogram uses ultrasound waves to produce a clear image of the heart. The test reveals if the patient has undergone any cardiac arrest in the past.
Procedure
Once the problem has been detected, we undertake the following procedures to cure it completely. Heart Care Centers often undertake the following procedures.
Alcohol Septal Ablation
In case of a heart muscle thickening, Ethanol Alcohol is injected into the small arteries, causing the cells to die and shrinking the muscles bringing them to their normal size.
Angioplasty
Angioplasty is the same-day outpatient procedure in which a balloon or a stent-like tool is used to open up blockages and close blood vessels. Blockages restrict the blood flow, which can further cause cardiac arrest. Thus it is necessary to treat the disease on time.
Stenting
It is another procedure used to cure blockages of any sort using a catheter which is inserted through an incision. The operation is minimally invasive, and the patient is free to go back home on a similar day.
Other than this, various other Heart Care Hospitals undertake different treatments like Peripheral vascular interventions, Cardiac catheterisation, Aortic balloon valvuloplasty and mitral balloon valvuloplasty, etc., depending on the severity of the issue.
