Treatment & Services

Our Centre is a reputed Cardiac Hospital in Pune which provides the best quality treatment to patients with various heart ailments.

Coronary artery disease (CAD)

It is due tobuildup of plaque in the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to our heart. This causes a narrowing or blockage in arteries that may lead to a heart attack.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia is irregular heartbeat. This resultsdue to dysfunction of the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats. The heart may beat either too fast or too slow or irregularly. There are different types of Arrhythmia like Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC), Atrial fibrillation etc

Heart failure

Heart failure occurs when heart muscles don’t pump blood appropriately. In this case, the heart doesn’t stop working but it actually works sub-normally. This often happens in people with long standing coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, etc.

Congenital Heart Defects

It refers to the structural heart defects present from birth. These defects include the following: Septal defects in which there is a hole in the heart, Abnormal heart valves in which the valves are not opened or there is leakage of blood, and Atresia in which one of the valves or blood vessel in the heart is missing

Dilated cardiomyopathy

It is a heart condition in which the heart chambers become dilated or the heart muscles get stretched and become thin. This happens because of the previous heart attacks, toxins, and arrhythmias. This condition doesn’t allow the blood to pump flow properly and can also result in heart failure and blood clots.

All About Cardiology

Overview of cardiology

Treatments & Services

The heart is a vital organ whose proper function is important for our overall health. The heart performs a lot of functions in our body and it keeps us alive by continuously beating and performing various important functions. But, in the last 20 years, the prevalence of heart disease has increased by over 50% in India, making it the leading cause of disease.

Cardiology is the branch of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatments of disorders and diseases related to the heart, and some parts of the circulatory system. It is a department in every hospital that focuses on the health of the heart, diagnosis of heart diseases on time, and treating those diseases with the best treatments possible.

Heart experts or cardiologists are physicians that diagnose and treat various heart problems like coronary artery disease, congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and electrophysiology, etc. For a serious heart patient, every second is important and thus we believe that the cardiology department should be equipped with an expert team of doctors and state-of-the-heart technologies to save a life.

Heart Diseases

With the changing lifestyle, heart disease has become a leading cause of deaths in the world. Some of the heart diseases are:

1. Atherosclerosis - It is a buildup of cholesterol and fats in and on the artery walls resulting in the blockage of the blood flow. It is mostly considered as a heart problem but this buildup and blockage can affect any artery in the body.
2. Coronary Artery Disease - It is a common type of heart disease in which plaque gets buildup in the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. The arteries get blocked, hard and become narrow in a CAD. Eventually, the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients decreases resulting in a heart failure.
3. Congenital Heart Defects - It is kind of a heart problem a person takes birth with. These defects include the: Septal defects in which there is a hole in the heart, Abnormal heart valves in which the valves are not opened or there is leakage of blood, and Atresia in which one of the valves in the heart is missing.
4. Arrhythmia - It refers to a heart condition with the abnormal rhythm of the heart. This results with the dysfunction of the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats. In this heart condition, the heart beats too fast or too slow. There are different types of Arrhythmia like Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Premature contractions, and Atrial fibrillation.
5. Heart failure - It is a serious heart disease in which a heart does not work the way it should. In this case, the heart doesn’t stop working but it actually works in an abnormal way. This happens due to coronary high blood pressure, artery disease, arrhythmias, etc.
6. Dilated cardiomyopathy - It is a heart condition in which the heart chambers become dilate or the heart muscles get stretched and become thin. This happens because of the previous heart attacks, toxins, and arrhythmias. This doesn’t allow the blood to pump flow properly and can also result in heart failure and blood clots.
