The Heart Institute at Medanta has an exceptional team comprising heart surgeons, cardiologists, and radiologists who work together to provide comprehensive care for patients with heart conditions. The "Heart Team" approach helps in thorough evaluations by cardiac experts, while the use of cutting-edge technologies such as robotic surgery and minimally invasive techniques ensures precision and accuracy in treatment.
CABG is a surgical procedure that is used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD). In CAD, a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the blood vessels (coronary arteries) that are responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscles. This leads to the narrowing of the coronary arteries. During the procedure, the doctor surgically connects a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm or chest to the heart and creates a new pathway around the blocked or partially blocked artery to restore blood flow.
Peripheral Angioplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to re-open blood vessels to allow oxygen-rich blood to flow smoothly to the lower extremities (legs).
TAVI is a surgical procedure performed to replace a blocked or narrowed aortic valve in people who are at greater risk or too sick for open heart surgery. The TAVR(TAVI) procedure involves the implantation of aortic valve without even eliminating the old, damaged valve with the help of a catheter.
MVR fixes problems with your valves and reduces the chances of severe complications. When there is a defect in the mitral valve, it affects the central pumping unit of your heart, the left ventricle. If there is stenosis, enough blood does not fill the ventricle during each stroke. If there is regurgitation, blood leaks back into the atrium during ventricle contraction. In our article here, you can read more about how blood flows through the heart. When the mitral valve is too stretchy, it may reflect into the left atrium, causing regurgitation or the backflow of blood into the left atrium. This is known as mitral valve prolapse and is one of the most common conditions treated with valve surgery.
Rheumatic Heart Disease affects the heart valves, causing them to become damaged or scarred. This can lead to problems with blood flow and potentially result in heart failure or other complications. It is essential to accurately understand and communicate information about medical conditions.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common cardiovascular condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. It can lead to various complications, such as angina (chest pain), heart attack, or heart failure. Lifestyle modifications, medications, and medical procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery are often used to manage CAD. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment options.
High Blood Pressure is commonly known as Hypertension. It is the pressure exerted by blood against the walls of the blood vessels. In this condition, the blood pressure is higher than 140 over 90mmHg.
Heart failure is a long-term yet quite dangerous situation where your heart starts to malfunction. While there is a specific requirement of blood for your body, in a condition of heart failure, enough blood is not pumped to meet the body's needs. Depending upon the intensity of failure, light, and severe conditions impact the body. Moreover, the intensity of failure also determines the type of heart failure treatment, which can range from doing simple exercises to even a complete surgery.
