Cardiology
Heart Hospital in Ghaziabad
Cardiology studies the heart and cardiovascular system. It encompasses a wide range of specialties, including vascular medicine and electrophysiology. Cardiologists perform procedures such as coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization, which diagnose conditions affecting the heart. Cardiac surgeons operate on patients with congenital heart defects or those who have had a heart attack or other severe heart problems. As per trends, by 2030, India might record the world's highest number of cardiac deaths.

Treatment & Procedures
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. It uses standard 2D, 3D and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart. The test does not involve any radiation.
Coronary angiogram
An X-ray imaging test is done to see if there are any restrictions in blood flow going to your heart. This is the most common test to help doctors diagnose heart conditions. During coronary angiography, a small catheter or tube is inserted through the skin into an artery in the groin or the Hand. Through a special x-ray viewing instrument, the catheter…
A Holter monitor is a small, wearable, ambulatory electrocardiography device that keeps track of heart rhythms and records all heartbeats.
An ECG or Electrocardiogram is a simple, non-invasive procedure that records heart rate and its rhythms. ECG is done to look or check for known heart conditions or how healthy the heart is before or after surgery.
TMT or Tread Mill Test or Stress Test or Exercise Test measures how well the heart works when it is beating fast and working hard. A stress test helps doctors see if the heart is getting enough blood during these times.
Coronary angioplasty is routinely done to open clogged heart arteries. It can improve symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Angioplasty is also often used during a heart attack to quickly open a blocked artery and reduce the amount of damage to your heart. It involves inserting and inflating a tiny balloon into the spot where your artery…
This is a non-surgical procedure that is used to treat coronary arteries for stenosis. It is a combination of angioplasty & stenting that widens narrowed and blocked coronary arteries and restores blood flow from the heart. In cases of acute heart attacks (Myocardial Infarctions), PCI is used as an emergency treatment. PCI is considered to be an alternative…
A cardiac device helps control irregular heartbeats to protect against heart rhythm disorders. One of the most commonly used cardiac devices is a pacemaker, which produces electrical stimuli to the heart to help it maintain rhythm. An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is used to assist the heart's ventricles to restore their capacity after…
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked coronary arteries allowing unobstructed blood flow to the heart. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and uses X-ray to help the cardiologist view the site of your blocked artery. An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in your arm and you will…
Using specialized cardiac MRI's, a cardiologist evaluates hemodynamic changes in the body to identify congenital heart disease. Identifying congenital heart defects at an early stage is crucial to improving the life expectancy and quality of life of patients.
The heart’s two lower chambers are the ventricles and the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs. It connects to the pulmonary artery, the main blood vessel leading to the lungs. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonary valve, one of the heart’s four valves. In a normal heart, the pulmonary valve opens fully when the…
The mitral valve is a valve with two flaps in the heart that lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Sometimes, the valves don't open or close properly, disrupting the blood flow through your heart to your body and also causes blood to leak backward to the left atrium. The valve may also be narrowed. Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty is a procedure…
Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) Congenital heart disorders are the most common type of birth defect. These can range from simple ones with no symptoms to complex types which are severe and life-threatening such as a hole in the heart that causes blood from the left and right sides of the heart to mix, or even a narrowed valve that blocks blood…
VSD is a hole in the wall called septum, separating the two lower chambers of the heart. In a normal heart, only the left side pumps blood to the body, and the right side to the lungs. With an abnormal opening between the ventricles, a large amount of oxygen-rich (red) blood from the heart's left side is pushed through the hole into the right side.…
PDA is an unclosed hole in the aorta, the main artery that carries blood away from your heart. In a normal heart, its left side pumps blood only to the body while the right pumps blood to the lungs. If you have PDA, extra blood gets pumped from your body artery or aorta into the lung (pulmonary) arteries. If the PDA is large, the extra blood being…
This condition occurs when arteries and veins have abnormal connections between them. Pulmonary AVMs act as direct conduits between the pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein, which reduces blood oxygen levels, and also allows clots and bacteria to bypass the normal filtration process of the lung capillaries. Pulmonary AVMs are prone to rupturing,…
The Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system enables the movement of blood throughout the body. It includes the heart and blood vessels, responsible for transporting oxygen to different body parts.
The main components of the cardiovascular system include:
-
The heart
It's a robust and muscular pumping organ that pumps blood throughout our bodies. It also regulates blood pressure and keeps blood moving through our veins and arteries.
-
Blood vessels
These include arteries, veins, and capillaries. The arteries carry blood rich in oxygen from the heart to other parts of our body, while veins bring oxygen-poor blood back to the heart from different parts of our body.
-
Blood - This liquid substance contains:
-
Red cells carry oxygen.
-
White cells fight infections.
-
Platelets help prevent bleeding.
-
Hormones carry messages across the body.
-
Glucose provides energy.
-
Fats store energy for later use.
-
Vitamins and minerals help keep us healthy.
-
Common Cardiovascular System Diseases
The common diseases of this system include
-
Atherosclerosis: hardening of the arteries
-
Hypertension: high blood pressure
-
Myocardial infarction: heart attack
-
Peripheral vascular disease: inadequate blood circulation in the legs
-
Pulmonary embolism: a blockage in the lungs
-
Stroke: damage to the brain. To know more, visit our top hospital in Ghaziabad.
Some interesting facts about the cardiovascular system:
-
The human heart weighs between 220 to 240 grams.
-
The heart is the body's most significant muscle, and it pumps blood throughout the body through a network of blood vessels.
-
Each side of the heart has its independent electrical system that generates electrical impulses that cause each side of the heart to contract independently.
-
The heart is about the size of a fist and weighs about as much as your brain.
Diagnosis Facilities
-
Treadmill Test
A treadmill test is an exercise stress test that measures your heart's ability to pump blood while you're walking on a treadmill. The best cardiologists in Ghaziabad will watch your heart rate and blood pressure closely during the test to determine if you're having trouble with your heart's electrical system or pumping ability.
-
ECG
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnosis to measure the electrical activity of your heart. It uses electrodes placed on your skin to record how fast and regularly your heart beats and any abnormal rhythms it may have. An ECG can also show how well your heart works overall.
-
Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create a moving picture of structures within the heart. The echocardiogram allows us to see if there are any blockages in your coronary arteries which could cause chest pain or shortness of breath. An echocardiogram can also evaluate your heart rhythm and determine if there are any abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter that could lead to stroke or other serious health problems. Consult with the heart specialist in Ghaziabad to know more about the treatment.
-
Coronary Angiogram
A coronary angiogram is a diagnosis that uses X-rays to create images of blood vessels within the heart. It allows us to see areas where blockages have occurred in coronary arteries.
-
Holter Procedure
A Holter monitor is a portable device that measures the heart's electrical activity over 24 hours. It is worn like a watch and records any abnormal rhythms that may be causing your symptoms.
-
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)
FFR allows the best heart specialist in Ghaziabad to determine whether coronary artery disease (CAD) is present by measuring the blood flow through an artery narrowed by plaque.
-
Intravascular UltraSound (IVUS)
IVUS uses an ultrasound probe to create images of the inside of your arteries. The probe has a tiny tube at its tip. Doctors insert it into an artery in your groin area. An IVUS image shows the cross-section of an artery on a computer screen and helps doctors see if any blockages in it might be causing problems for you.
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT uses light waves and computer technology to create high-resolution images inside tissue without using X-rays or radioactive dyes. OCT can be used to look at tissue throughout your body and outside.
-
Hemodynamic Evaluation
Hemodynamic evaluation is a way to measure the pressure and flow of blood through the body. The test determines how well your heart is functioning, especially when there has been damage to the heart muscle. It can also help doctors evaluate how well your body responds to heart disease treatment.
