Treatment & Procedures
An ECG or Electrocardiogram is a simple, non-invasive procedure that records heart rate and its rhythms. ECG is done to look or check for known heart conditions or how healthy the heart is before or after surgery.
Echocardiogram
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.
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.
A Holter monitor is a small, wearable, ambulatory electrocardiography device that keeps track of heart rhythms and records all heartbeats.
An X-ray imaging test is done to see if there are any restrictions in blood flow going to your heart. This is the most common test to help doctors diagnose heart conditions. During coronary angiography, a small catheter or tube is inserted through the skin into an artery in the groin or the Hand. Through a special x-ray viewing instrument, the catheter…
A pacemaker is a small device implanted in the patient's chest to control their heartbeats. It helps prevent the heart muscles from moving too slowly and is also known as a cardiac pacing device since it helps maintain the pace of the heart. Permanent pacemaker implantation is a minimally invasive cardiac procedure to implant the device in the patient's…
A Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) treats Coronary Artery Diseases. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) occurs due to the narrowing of the Coronary Arteries, which may obstruct blood flow. The blood vessels narrow due to the accumulation of plaque or fatty material inside the artery's walls. As a result, the supply of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to…
Manipal Hospitals Gurugram stands at the forefront of cardiac care, offering cutting-edge treatments such as angioplasty. Angioplasty, also referred to as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a vital surgical procedure aimed at opening obstructed heart arteries. This procedure plays a pivotal role in alleviating symptoms of Atherosclerosis,…
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…
Coronary angioplasty is routinely done to open clogged heart arteries. It can improve symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Angioplasty is also often used during a heart attack to quickly open a blocked artery and reduce the amount of damage to your heart. It involves inserting and inflating a tiny balloon into the spot where your artery…
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.

The treatment of heart disorders in children requires specialized equipment and knowledge.
An electrophysiology test reveals how electrical signals move through your heart. When these signals show normal movements, your heartbeat is regular. When these signals are abnormal, your heartbeat is irregular and this is called an arrhythmia. Radiofrequency ablation (RA) is the procedure to treat some types of arrhythmias. Together it takes about…
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.
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.
For children suffering from narrowing or blockage in the aortic valve, the best treatment option is balloon dilation. The treatment is minimally invasive, reducing the discomfort and recovery time for the patient. A deflated balloon is attached to a thin tube known as a catheter which is navigated to the narrowed artery, where it is inflated, opening…
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…
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…
VSD is a hole in the wall called the 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.…
PDA is an unclosed hole in the aorta, the main artery that carries blood away from your heart. In a normal heart, its left side pumps blood only to the body while the right pumps blood to the lungs. If you have PDA, extra blood gets pumped from your body artery or aorta into the lung (pulmonary) arteries. If the PDA is large, the extra blood being…
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.
The Cardiovascular System
Our body's system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through the body's arteries to supply tissues with oxygen and nutrients. The veins transfer deoxygenated blood back to the heart, which is pumped into the lungs to be re-oxygenated.
The components of the cardiovascular system are:
-
Heart - Pumps blood throughout the body
-
Arteries - Tubes that carry blood rich in oxygen from the heart to all parts of the body
-
Veins - Carry oxygen-deprived blood from all body parts to the heart.
-
Capillaries - Tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins; move oxygen and nutrients in your blood to different organs in your body
Common Cardiovascular System Diseases
The common diseases in the cardiovascular system are:
-
Arrhythmias: irregular heartbeat
-
Hypertension: high blood pressure.
-
Stroke: when a blocked artery restricts oxygen to the brain parts.
-
Heart failure: The body does not get enough blood from the heart.
Consult a heart hospital in Gurgaon if you need treatment and care for any of the above ailments.
Interesting facts about the Cardiovascular System:
-
The heart also removes carbon dioxide from tissues and transports it back to your lungs.
-
The average person has about 8000 km of blood vessels.
-
Your heart pumps about 9,000 litres of blood each day.
-
Each heartbeat sends about 3400 litres of blood through your arteries every minute!
