Transforming Heart Health: Unveiling the Remarkable TAVR Procedure
In the realm of groundbreaking cardiac interventions, the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure shines as a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with aortic valve ailments. With its minimally invasive approach and impressive outcomes, TAVR is rewriting the script on how we approach aortic valve issues. Join us in this comprehensive exploration of the […]
Exploring CABG Surgery: Procedure and Advantages
CABG stands for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. It is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD) by bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries with healthy blood vessels to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. Indications for CABG Preoperative Precautions Benefits CABG surgery restores blood flow to the heart, reducing angina and […]
Understanding Mitral Valve Repair: A Simple Guide
Your heart has four valves that ensure blood flows in the right direction. One of these is the mitral valve, located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. This valve can sometimes become damaged due to various conditions, causing problems like blood leaking backward or not flowing properly. When this happens, mitral […]
Revolutionizing Cardiac Care: Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL)
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, demanding innovative treatments that offer safety, efficacy, and better patient outcomes. Among the most promising advancements is Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), a revolutionary approach for patients with coronary artery disease characterized by calcified artery blockages. Calcification in the coronary arteries complicates standard treatments like angioplasty […]
Fractional Flow Reserve: A Vital Tool for Heart Health
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is an advanced diagnostic procedure used to determine the necessity of interventions in patients with coronary artery disease. This minimally invasive test provides a more accurate method for assessing the severity of blood flow blockages in the coronary arteries than traditional imaging techniques alone. How Does Fractional Flow Reserve Work? The […]
Understanding Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
It is also known as coronary angioplasty. It is a medical procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries in the heart. This is usually done by putting a thin tube with a deflated balloon into the clogged artery and then inflating the balloon to compress the plaque buildup, thus widening the artery, and […]
