Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio (iFR) are advanced diagnostic techniques used during coronary angiography to assess the severity of coronary artery blockages and determine whether a patient requires angioplasty or stent placement.   These specialized procedures help cardiologists measure blood flow within the coronary arteries and identify

Welcome to our detailed guide on 2D Echo and 2D/3D Echocardiography with Doppler, one of the most advanced and reliable diagnostic tools used in modern cardiology. This non-invasive heart imaging test helps cardiologists evaluate heart structure, blood flow, valve function, and overall cardiac performance with high precision. At Dr. Manish

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) is a modern diagnostic test used to measure blood pressure continuously over a 24-hour period while the patient carries out regular daily activities. The ABPM test full form is Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring. Unlike a single blood pressure reading taken in a clinic, an ABPM

Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) intervention is an advanced coronary procedure used to treat a coronary artery that has been completely blocked for a long period, generally three months or more. A chronic total blockage can reduce blood flow to the heart and may cause symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness,

Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. It works by identifying the area of the heart responsible for the abnormal electrical signals and treating that tissue through a specialized catheter. It may be considered for selected patients with Atrial

Holter monitoring (24–72 hr) and event recorder tests are advanced cardiac diagnostic procedures used to continuously monitor and record the heart’s electrical activity over an extended period.    Unlike a standard ECG, which records heart activity for only a few seconds, Holter monitoring provides continuous ECG recording for 24 to

An Optimal Cardiac condition is imperative for orchestrating the symphony of the body’s myriad organs. The intricate dance of factors influencing heart health encompasses heightened stress levels, metamorphoses in lifestyle paradigms, and dietary shifts. Enter the TMT test, or the treadmill test, a litmus test for assessing cardiac functionality in

Pediatric heart disease, a term encompassing a range of congenital and acquired conditions affecting the hearts of infants and children, is a topic of paramount importance. In this comprehensive guide, we navigate through the intricacies of pediatric heart disease, shedding light on its prevalence, causes, symptoms, and advanced diagnostic and

A permanent pacemaker is a small electronic device used to help maintain an appropriate heart rate when the heart beats too slowly or its electrical system does not function properly. The device sends electrical impulses to the heart when needed, helping maintain a regular rhythm.   Pacemaker implantation is generally

Open-Heart & Valve Replacement, a surgical marvel, stands as a transformative intervention in the realm of cardiovascular medicine. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of open-heart valve replacement, providing insights into its significance, procedure, types of valves, recovery, and the evolving landscape of cardiac surgery. Knowing Open-Heart Valve Replacement

A Diagnostic Electrophysiology Study (EPS) is a specialized cardiac test used to investigate abnormal heart rhythms and problems with the heart’s electrical system. Unlike a routine ECG, EPS records electrical signals directly from inside the heart using thin electrode catheters. The test can help identify the source of certain arrhythmias

An Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) is a small device implanted in the chest to continuously monitor the heart’s rhythm. It can detect certain dangerous fast heart rhythms and deliver electrical therapy when required. Unlike a conventional pacemaker, an ICD is primarily designed to protect against potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. ICD therapy
