Out Patient Services

The outpatient facility is structured for general evaluation of patients with chest pain and various forms of heart diseases. The diagnostic work up is performed with the least amount of patient discomfort and high levels of accuracy. The multidisciplinary team provides heart care services for the cardiac patient who may also have coexistent medical problems. For a majority of patients, the diagnosis, treatment planning and recommendations are completed in a single day.

Non-Invasive Cardiology

Since a proper cure cannot come without a proper diagnosis, we make available to you the relevant procedure that serves as a guide to any follow-up treatment that you may need.

• Electrocardiography (ECG)
• 2d echocardiography and Doppler studies
• Stress echocardiography
• Transoesophageal echocardiography
• 24 hours Holter monitoring
• Tread mill stress test

CCU (Coronary Care Unit)

The unit is staffed by a specially trained physician and nurses capable of serving patients with heart attack, heart failure and arrhythmias.

This 8-bed facility provides care for the sick patients who may require ventilator support, invasive and non-invasive advanced life support such as emergency pacing (transvenous and external) and intra-aortic balloon pump support for a failing heart. Hemodynamic monitoring including blood gas analysis enables the management of patients on various therapeutic medications for heart attack and heart failure. CCU protocols help to provide therapies per guidelines and recommendations. Infection control protocols, 1:1 critical care nursing, 24×7 availability of a trained physician and ensures immediate access to our Cathlab.

Preventive Cardiology

The comprehensive cardiac health check up identifies those with high risk and recommends lifestyle modification and drugs for primary prevention of coronary artery disease. Secondary prevention is enabled by risk factor identification, counselling, diet modification and of course with treatment of associated problems like diabetes mellitus with drugs during hospitalization.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

We ensure that every individual of an acute coronary syndrome go through an individualized rehab program encompassing life style changes which include:

Diet and nutritional rehab

• Exercise prescription
• Tobacco and alcohol cessation methods
• Toga and meditation

This for sure would ensure compliance to treatment which includes both drugs and life style changes. We ensure that the spouse of the patient too come in to the rehab program resulting in a life style change in the family as a unit. This we believe would help prevent recurrence in the patient and also ensures prevention of disease in other members of the family.
