Cardiology
Best Heart Care Clinic in Begur, Bangalore
A normal heartbeat range falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute, and anything below 60 beats per minute is described as bradycardia or an abnormally slow heartbeat. It may not always be serious, but at the same time, it must not be overlooked as a slow heartbeat rate is a common symptom in patients diagnosed with either heart inflammation, blocked arteries, or damaged heart tissues. If such a thing is neglected over a prolonged period, you may be at a higher risk of facing a cardiac arrest or heart attack. Thus any such symptoms must be immediately reported to a cardiologist, especially if heart problems run down your family line. If you experience any concerning symptoms, do not hesitate to visit Manipal clinics, the best Cardiology Clinic in Bangalore for expert diagnosis and treatment. Consult our Best Cardiology Clinic in Bangalore if you need treatment and care for heart issues.

Treatment & Procedures
Angiography is a diagnostic procedure that utilises x-ray images to understand the blockages in arteries and veins causing hindrance to smooth blood flow. A contrast material (dye) is injected to enhance the clarity of images. The dye circulates, highlighting the affected areas, making it easier for a doctor to investigate the root cause of the blockage.
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. It uses standard 2D, 3D and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart. The test does not involve any radiation.
A Holter monitor is a small, wearable, ambulatory electrocardiography device that keeps track of heart rhythms and records all heartbeats.
TMT or Tread Mill Test or Stress Test or Exercise Test measures how well the heart works when it is beating fast and working hard. A stress test helps doctors see if the heart is getting enough blood during these times.
An electrocardiogram (ECG) test is conducted to note down the electrical response of the heart when it contracts using a machine to find out whether there are any abnormalities or deviations from a normally functioning heart. The device used to run this test is called an electrocardiograph.
Sometimes unhealthy lifestyle leads to the formation of fatty buildups along the inner lining of the artery, narrowing the passage. This buildup is called atherosclerosis, causing chronic heart diseases. Angioplasty is a procedure to widen or open the blocked arteries to ensure smooth blood flow to the heart. It is often practised when an individual…
This is a non-surgical procedure that is used to treat coronary arteries for stenosis. It is a combination of angioplasty & stenting that widens narrowed and blocked coronary arteries and restores blood flow from the heart. In cases of acute heart attacks (Myocardial Infarctions), PCI is used as an emergency treatment. PCI is considered to be an alternative…
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked coronary arteries allowing unobstructed blood flow to the heart. This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and uses X-ray to help the cardiologist view the site of your blocked artery. An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in your arm and you will…
A cardiac device helps control irregular heartbeats to protect against heart rhythm disorders. One of the most commonly used cardiac devices is a pacemaker, which produces electrical stimuli to the heart to help it maintain rhythm. An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is used to assist the heart's ventricles to restore their capacity after…
This is a procedure that involves the opening of the chest cavity and creating a bypass system that allows blood to pump through your body without going through the heart. During open heart surgery, the heart is stopped for a period of time until surgical procedures or investigations can be completed. Once the surgical objective has been achieved,…

Using specialized cardiac MRI's, a cardiologist evaluates hemodynamic changes in the body to identify congenital heart disease. Identifying congenital heart defects at an early stage is crucial to improving the life expectancy and quality of life of patients.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). The aortic valve controls the blood flow from your heart to the rest of the organs. TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure to replace your damaged or diseased aortic valve with a new man-made one using a narrow tube called a catheter. This is inserted into a large blood vessel in your groin or chest.
The heart’s two lower chambers are the ventricles and the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs. It connects to the pulmonary artery, the main blood vessel leading to the lungs. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonary valve, one of the heart’s four valves. In a normal heart, the pulmonary valve opens fully when the…
The mitral valve is a valve with two flaps in the heart that lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Sometimes, the valves don't open or close properly, disrupting the blood flow through your heart to your body and also causes blood to leak backward to the left atrium. The valve may also be narrowed. Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty is a procedure…
VSD is a hole in the wall called septum, separating the two lower chambers of the heart. In a normal heart, only the left side pumps blood to the body, and the right side to the lungs. With an abnormal opening between the ventricles, a large amount of oxygen-rich (red) blood from the heart's left side is pushed through the hole into the right side.…
Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) Congenital heart disorders are the most common type of birth defect. These can range from simple ones with no symptoms to complex types which are severe and life-threatening such as a hole in the heart that causes blood from the left and right sides of the heart to mix, or even a narrowed valve that blocks blood…
This condition occurs when arteries and veins have abnormal connections between them. Pulmonary AVMs act as direct conduits between the pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein, which reduces blood oxygen levels, and also allows clots and bacteria to bypass the normal filtration process of the lung capillaries. Pulmonary AVMs are prone to rupturing,…
The automated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) is a tiny electronic device that is implanted in the chest to prevent sudden death from cardiac arrest caused due to fast heart rhythms called tachycardias. The surgery involves inserting insulated wires into the veins near your collarbone and moving them through X-ray images, to your heart.…
CRT is prescribed for patients with heart failure or arrhythmia (irregular heart beat). There are two types of CRT devices – one is the biventricular pacemaker and the other is the same device which includes a built-in implantable cardioverter defibrillator and is called a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).
Knowing your baby is growing normally and safely in your womb is one of the happiest phases for a mother-to-be. Routine tests for you and your baby can ensure all is going well. If your gynaecologist detects an abnormal heart beat or any other conditions in the foetus, she may recommend a foetal echocardiogram.

Yes, a yearly health check-up that includes a blood pressure check, lipid, and cholesterol test and a discussion with your doctor about other risk factors should not be overlooked.
The doctors recommend an upright sleeping position for the first few weeks post-surgery so that the chest bones area can heal quickly. One can sleep on a folding bed and take the support of a pillow so that the neck and spine don't face any discomfort and ensure a healthy sleep.
One should avoid consuming red meat, butter, cream, cheese, and poultry skin as they contain high levels of saturated fats. Fried and packaged foods must be avoided at all costs as they impart unhealthy cholesterol to our bodies. To know more visit the best cardiologist hospital in Begur.
One usually doesn't have to prepare themself before an ECG test, and there is no restriction on the consumption of food or drinks. One will only have to ensure that the chest is clean and shaved so that the hair doesn't hinder electrical waves from passing through.
A normal ejection fraction is between 50% and 70%, which means the left ventricle pumps out between 50% and 70% of its total volume. An ejection fraction between 40% and 49% is considered “borderline.” Get detailed knowledge regarding this with the help of the top cardiologist in Begur.
Angiograms are generally safe, and complications occur less than 1% of the time. However, there are risks with any test. Bleeding, infection, and irregular heartbeat can occur. More serious complications, such as heart attack, stroke, and death, can occur, but they are uncommon.
A stent is a tiny metal mesh tube used in treating certain heart ailments and other conditions, including: Coronary artery disease - Here, a stent is utilised to open a blocked coronary artery and increase the blood flow to the heart muscle. Carotid artery disease - Here, a stent is used to open a blocked carotid artery to minimise the risk of stroke. Peripheral artery disease - Here, a stent is utilised to open a blocked artery in the different parts of the body. Consult the best cardiologist in Begur for more information.
After you have undergone a stent procedure, it is vital to follow the suggested lifestyle changes & medications to minimise the risk of restenosis which means recurrent blockage of the stent. These measures will improve long-term outcomes. However, the specific instructions and other steps will vary based on the type of stent and the patient's medical history. Consult the top cardiologists in Begur for stent placement.
The procedure to insert a stent is known as percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The procedure is usually done through a catheter, which is then inserted into an artery in the leg & led to the blocked artery. Furthermore, the stent is then inflated to open the blocked artery and increase the blood flow. Consult the best cardiologist in Begur for stent treatment.
