Our team of cardiologists are dedicated to the treatment for coronary heart diseases.The department of cardiology offers a comprehensive program for the management of heart diseases serving patients of all ages. In addition to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation we offer awake cardiac surgery, beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting and keyhole surgery/minimally invasive valve replacement.

Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. Diseases under the heart disease umbrella include blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); and heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects), among others. The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease. Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.

Diagnosis : Besides blood tests and a chest X-ray, tests to diagnose heart disease can include:

Electrocardiogram (ECG) - An ECG records these electrical signals and can help your doctor detect irregularities in your heart's rhythm and structure. You may have an ECG while you're at rest or while exercising (stress electrocardiogram).<

Holter monitoring - A Holter monitor is a portable device you wear to record a continuous ECG, usually for 24 to 72 hours. Holter monitoring is used to detect heart rhythm irregularities that aren't found during a regular ECG exam.

Echocardiogram - This noninvasive exam, which includes an ultrasound of your chest, shows detailed images of your heart's structure and function.

Stress test - This type of test involves raising your heart rate with exercise or medicine while performing heart tests and imaging to check how your heart responds. Cardiac catheterization. In this test, a short tube (sheath) is inserted into a vein or artery in your leg (groin) or arm. A hollow, flexible and longer tube (guide catheter) is then inserted into the sheath. Aided by X-ray images on a monitor, your doctor threads the guide catheter through that artery until it reaches your heart. The pressures in your heart chambers can be measured, and dye can be injected. The dye can be seen on an X-ray, which helps your doctor see the blood flow through your heart, blood vessels and valves to check for abnormalities.

Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan - This test is often used to check for heart problems. In a cardiac CT scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped machine. An X-ray tube inside the machine rotates around your body and collects images of your heart and chest.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - For this test, you lie on a table inside a long tube-like machine that produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field produces pictures to help your doctor evaluate your heart.

Treatment : Shreedevei hospital surgeons have experience performing cardiovascular and cardiothoracic procedures using the most current management and surgical techniques. Surgeons have experience and expertise performing minimally invasive heart surgery. MICAS is a less-invasive surgical procedure to restore normal blood flow to an obstructed coronary artery. In addition to diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation we offer beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting and keyhole surgery/minimally invasive valve replacement. Shreedevei hospital have special 15 bed ICCU with dedicated ventilators, High end cardiac monitors, bipap machines, ECG machines, syringe pump, infusion pump, highly qualified intensivists and specially trained staff for critical management of ICCU.We aim to provide the best round the clock heart care services in Kalyan.
