Cardiac

It generally consists of educational content on common cardiovascular conditions, such as heart disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarctions, as well as on protecting cardiac health in Chennai.

.

1. Interventional Cardiology

Uses minimally invasive techniques (such as stents and angioplasty) to expand clogged arteries and restore blood to the heart.

2. Electrophysiology (EP)

Expertise in diagnosis and management of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) such as atrial fibrillation with pacemakers, ablations, or defibrillators.

3. Cardiomyopathy Clinic

Specializes in the treatment of weak heart muscles and persistent heart failure with drugs, life-style modification, and novel therapies.

4. Structural Heart Disease

Structural Heart Disease refers to a group of conditions caused by abnormalities in the heart's anatomy—including its valves, walls, chambers, and blood vessels—rather than diseases.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD):

Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, usually by atherosclerosis.

Can lead to heart attacks (myocardial infarction)

The heart fails to pump blood properly and leads to fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure):

An important risk factor for other cardiac diseases.

Also referred to as the “silent killer” because there are no noticeable symptoms.

Inefficient operation of one or more of the heart valves (e.g., aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation).

What Is Heart Disease?

Cardiovascular disease is a group of disorders that affect cardiac function, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure. The disease often leads to the development of plaque in the arteries that can then lead to myocardial infarctions, angina, or other ailments.

Warning signs of a heart attack include chest pressure or discomfort, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, or pain or discomfort in the arms, jaw, neck, or back. The signs can be sudden or gradual and can vary in women and men.

Cardiovascular medications are drug substances that are prescribed to treat and control cardiac diseases by regulating blood pressure, lowering cholesterol level, preventing the formation of thrombus or maintaining heart rhythm. These medications enhance cardiac function, alleviate symptoms, and prevent myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident.
