Gold standard for diagnosing blocked arteries. Allows immediate treatment via angioplasty or stenting during the same procedure.
Non-invasive test to detect abnormal heart rhythms, past heart attacks, or strain. Often the first diagnostic step for chest pain or palpitations.
Visualizes heart structure and function — valve health, pumping strength, chamber size. Crucial for diagnosing heart failure, valve disease, or congenital defects.
Evaluates how the heart performs under physical stress. Detects coronary artery disease, exercise-induced arrhythmias, or ischemia not visible at rest.
Track heart rhythm and blood pressure over 24–48 hours (or longer) to catch intermittent issues like silent AFib or masked hypertension — crucial for stroke and heart attack prevention.
Uses radioactive tracers to visualize blood flow to the heart muscle at rest and stress. More sensitive than standard stress tests for detecting subtle or multi-vessel coronary artery disease, especially in women or patients with inconclusive ECGs.
A minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed, malfunctioning aortic valve — usually due to aortic stenosis — without open-heart surgery.
Open-heart surgery where a healthy blood vessel (from chest, leg, or arm) is used to create a “detour” around blocked coronary arteries — restoring blood flow to the heart muscle.
A specialized CT scan that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed 3D images of your coronary arteries — the vessels that supply blood to your heart muscle.
A minimally invasive procedure to close an abnormal blood vessel (PDA) that failed to close after birth. Using a catheter inserted through the leg, a small device is deployed to seal the connection — preventing heart strain and lung damage. Ideal for infants, children, and even adults with untreated PDA.
Also known as Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty — this non-surgical procedure treats mitral valve stenosis by inflating a special balloon inside the heart to widen the narrowed valve. Fast recovery, no incision, and immediate symptom relief for patients with rheumatic valve disease.
A catheter-based treatment to close a “hole in the heart” (ASD) between the upper chambers. A closure device is guided through a vein and positioned to seal the defect — reducing risk of stroke, heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension. Safe, effective, and avoids open-heart surgery.
