The Cardiology Department of AMALA IMS is ever-ready and fully equipped to make timely interventions to take care of heart related diseases, in pursuit of “Total Healing.” The department, led by prominent cardiologists, strives for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all cardiac illnesses, whether it is congenial, coronary, valvular or heart failure, with the help of ultramodern facilities and well-trained staff and nurses.
Pediatric Cardiology deals with diagnosing and treating diseases of infants and children.
· Out patient clinics on all Monday and Wednesday
· Echocardiogram to diagnose complex congenital heart diseases
· Cardiac Catheterization
· Pediatric ASD/VSD/PDA interventions and coiling
CT Angiograms are used to diagnose a variety of heart conditions. It can show narrowed or blocked areas of a blood vessel.
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a non-invasive assessment of the Cardiovascular system. A heart MRI scans the heart to measure its functioning and how it moves.
Coronary Catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure used for both diagnostic and interventional purposes.
Angioplasty involves placing a stent to keep the artery open, coated with medication. A Coronary Angioplasty takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, and involves lying on an X-ray table and being given a local anaesthetic.
SPECT and PET provide metabolic and functional information, combining with CT and MRI. PET scan images have a higher resolution than cardiac SPECT scans, allowing Radiologists to detect changes to the heart's blood flow at a granular level.
Cardiac Electrophysiology involves diagnosing and treating electrical problems of the heart. The Department of Cardiology has a 48 channel St. Jude Electrophysiology System, useful for electrophysiological studies and ablation.
