Description

Echocardiography, also called an echo test or heart ultrasound,is a test that takes “moving pictures” of the heart with sound waves. An echo uses sound waves to create pictures of your heart’s chambers, valves, walls and the blood vessels (aorta, arteries, veins) attached to your heart. A probe called a transducer is passed over your chest. The probe produces sound waves that bounce off your heart and “echo” back to the probe. These waves are changed into pictures viewed on a video monitor. Your doctor may use an echo test to look at your heart’s structure and check how well your heart functions. The test helps your doctor find out: The size and shape of your heart, and the size, thickness and movement of your heart’s walls. How your heart moves. The heart’s pumping strength. If the heart valves are working correctly. If blood is leaking backwards through your heart valves (regurgitation). If the heart valves are too narrow (stenosis). If there is a tumor or infectious growth around your heart valves.

Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR)

Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of aortic aneurysms and dissections. It is an alternative to open surgery and involves the placement of a stent graft inside the aorta to reinforce and stabilize the weakened or damaged section of the vessel. Advantages of EVAR over traditional open surgery include shorter hospital stays, reduced blood loss, faster recovery times, and lower overall morbidity and mortality rates. However, not all patients with aortic aneurysms or dissections are suitable candidates for EVAR. Factors such as the size, location, and shape of the aneurysm, as well as the patient's overall health, are taken into consideration when determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

TAVI

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic stenosis. It is a minimally invasive procedure where the diseased Aortic Valve is changed through the catheter advanced over thigh artery via a small hole in the groin, there by negating the risks of complex surgery and anaesthesia.

Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRTD)

CRTD is a combo device with capabilities of bi ventricular pacing and intra cardiac defibrillation . It is indicated in severe LV dysfunction with wide QRS on ECG who are in NYHA class III-IV .
