It is common for patients to suffer from a condition called arrhythmia, which can cause their heart to beat too fast or too slow. To diagnose and treat such patients, the doctors in the cardiology department conduct comprehensive testing, including techniques like 24-hour and 48-hour Holter monitoring, loop recording, tilt-table testing and EPS.
For patients with slow heartbeats, pacemakers may be required. The department has some of the best electro cardiologists who can implant single-chamber or dual-chamber pacemakers and perform cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-P) to treat heart failure. In special situations, CRT-D or a combo device may also be used to treat heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias.
For patients with a very fast heartbeat, there are several treatment options available, including defibrillation and cardioversion, radiofrequency ablation, and implantation of an automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD).

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can occur due to a variety of reasons such as heart attack, high blood pressure, or valve disease. Symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a program that helps people with heart problems recover faster and improve their overall physical and mental health. It includes exercise training, education on heart-healthy living, and counseling to reduce stress and anxiety. Cardiac rehabilitation can help people with heart failure by improving their exercise capacity, reducing symptoms, and reducing the risk of future heart problems. It is usually recommended for people who have had a heart attack, heart surgery, or other heart-related procedure.

At the Department of Cardiology, quality care is provided for a wide range of cardiac diseases. The department evaluates and provides long-term treatment plans for ailments such as rheumatic, mitral and aortic valve disease, nonrheumatic valvular regurgitation or stenosis, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and more. Patients with mitral valve stenosis can be treated with balloon mitral valvuloplasty, a non-surgical procedure that uses a balloon to open the valve. Valve replacement surgeries are also performed by the best cardiothoracic surgeons with excellent results. Kaizen Hospital is proud to be one of the first few centres in India to have performed transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for patients suffering from aortic stenosis using only the groin arteries. This technology provides a comfortable and convenient way to cure a valve disease without any surgical incisions.

The risk controllable risk factors of coronary artery disease are: Smoking
High BP
High Cholesterol
Obesity & lethargic lifestyle
Diabetes

The Department of Cardiology at Kaizen Hospital is equipped with ultramodern echocardiography equipment that allows for the evaluation of heart disease in children. The department offers correction of defects such as a hole in the heart and narrowing of valves from birth. Additionally, advanced treatment is provided for many other congenital heart defects, including atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus device closure.
The department is staffed with experienced cardiologists and support staff who provide personalized care to each patient. The team works together to create a treatment plan that is tailored to the individual needs of the patient and their family. The goal is to provide the best possible outcome for each child, while minimizing the stress and anxiety associated with medical procedures.

According to the Indian Heart Association, coronary artery disease is the most common heart disease in India, accounting for over 32% of all deaths. Other common heart diseases include hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, and congenital heart disease. The prevalence of heart disease in India is attributed to various factors such as smoking, unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, and genetic predisposition. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle and undergo regular health checkups to prevent and manage heart disease.

TAVI/TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation/Replacement) is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a narrowed aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It helps restore proper blood flow, improving heart function and quality of life.

1️⃣ Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):

Uses light waves to create high-resolution images of the inside of blood vessels.
Helps doctors see plaque buildup and the structure of the artery with microscopic details.

Useful for precise stent placement and assessing any artery damage.

2️⃣ Intravascular Ultrasound (ICUS):

Uses sound waves (ultrasound) to provide real-time cross-sectional images of the artery.
Helps in determining the size of the blockage, artery wall thickness, and stent expansion.
Useful in cases where angiograms alone may not provide enough details
