Cardiac Consultation in Kolhapur
Cardiac Consultation
Cardiovascular consultation is a very important aspect of medical treatment. It is an opportunity for patients to discuss their cardiac problems, current complaints, understand the risks and complications, and to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
What is a Cardiologist Consultation?
A comprehensive evaluation of your heart health by a heart specialist. ... A cardiology consultation is usually requested by your family doctor, general internist or sometimes another specialist or surgeon when he or she wishes to have a heart specialist (cardiologist) use his/her expertise to evaluate your heart.
ECG Facility in Kolhapur
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a quick and painless diagnostic procedure. We use ECG to test for various problems like detection of heart attack, evaluation of chest pain, rhythm disturbances and enlargement of heart.
How is Electrocardiography done?
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a quick and painless diagnostic procedure. We use ECG to test for various problems like detection of heart attack, evaluation of chest pain, rhythm disturbances and enlargement of heartThe heart produces electrical impulses each time it pumps blood. An electrocardiograph records this electrical activity of the heart to measure the heartbeat and rhythm. The heart’s electrical impulses are recorded and shown on a paper strip or computer screen. These recorded impulses are called electrocardiogram. The doctor reads the electrocardiogram and analyses if the person has abnormal heart rhythm, cholesterol blockage in the blood vessels, or any other heart problem. Electrocardiography is also used to monitor the damage to the heart and vessels due to high blood pressure.
When to get an Electrocardiogram?
An ECG is suggested in case a person has the symptoms of a heart disease. These symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain and abnormal heartbeat. ECG is vital for people who have diabetes, or a family history of heart conditions, to diagnose if they have any heart problems.
2D Echo Facility in Kolhapur
2D Echocardiography
We use the latest 2D echocardiography technology for evaluating the heart muscles, valves and pumping efficiency. This test is used for the diagnosis of valves diseases, cardiac masses, congenital heart defects in babies (foetal echo), and other conditions.
How does Echocardiography work?
Echocardiography (also called ultrasound of the heart) is a painless examination in which sound waves are used to produce a live image of the patient’s heart. This image, called an echocardiogram, shows the heart muscles and valves while it is beating. A doctor interprets the echocardiogram to analyse the heart’s pumping efficiency, and detect any problems.
When to get an Echocardiogram
A doctor suggests an echocardiogram if you have the symptoms of heart problems, like shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or swelling in the legs.
Tread Mill Test (TMT) in Kolhapur
What is TMT test done for?
A Treadmill Stress Test (TMT) is a form of stress test that's conducted while you do an exercise walking on a treadmill during the course of an Electro Cardiogram (ECG). The TMT testing compares blood circulation in your heart when you're resting and under the influence of optimum physical pressure.
Can TMT test detect blockage?
The test could reveal irregular heart rhythms or other symptoms that indicate coronary artery disease, such as blocked arteries. If your doctor determines you may have coronary artery disease or other heart problems, they may begin treatments or order more tests, such as a nuclear stress test.
Ambulatory BP Monitoring
Ambulatory BP Monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) measures blood pressure at regular intervals. It is believed to be able to reduce the white coat hypertension effect in which a patient's blood pressure is elevated during the examination process due to nervousness and anxiety caused by being in a clinical setting.
What is a normal Ambulatory Blood Pressure?
According to these recommendations, normal 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure is defined as less than 130/80 mm Hg. Concurrently, normal daytime and nighttime blood pressure levels are defined as less than 135/85 mm Hg and less than 120/70 mm Hg, respectively.
How does Ambulatory BP Monitoring Work?
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is when your blood pressure is being measured as you move around, living your normal daily life. ... It uses a small digital blood pressure machine that is attached to a belt around your body and which is connected to a cuff around your upper arm.
Holter Monitoring
Holter Monitoring
A Holter monitor is a small, battery-powered medical device that measures your heart's activity, such as rate and rhythm. Your doctor may ask you to use one if they need more information about how your heart functions than a routine electrocardiogram (EKG) can give them.
Holter Monitoring
Angiography
Angiography is an imaging test that uses X-rays to view your body's blood vessels. The X-rays provided by an angiography are called angiograms. This test is used to study narrow, blocked, enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many parts of your body, including your brain, heart, abdomen, and legs.
Pacemaker Implantation
Pacemaker Implantation
A pacemaker insertion is the implantation of a small electronic device that is usually placed in the chest (just below the collarbone) to help regulate slow electrical problems with the heart. A pacemaker may be recommended toensure that the heartbeat does not slow to a dangerously low rate.
Holter Monitoring
Device Closure
Closure devices are used to close a defect or an opening between the right and left sides of the heart. Some of these birth defects are located in the wall (septum) between the upper chambers (atria) of the heart: Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
