INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY Our Invasive Cardiovascular Laboratories (ICL) have one of the latest such as Prucka Dual monitor Cardiolab, a sophisticated computerized electrophysiology and haemodynamic laboratory system using the optical disk storage of digitized information, radiofrequency-ablation lesion generator and blood stimulator for electrophysiology studies. Cardiology Department has always kept abreast of latest development and advancement in balloon and stent technology that enabled our cardiologists to successfully pursue not only more complex coronary lesions but also peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with stenting on carotid, renal, iliac or femoral arteries. IJN performs 81 types of diagnostic and therapeutic invasive procedures. In 2003, over 7,000 invasive cardiology procedures were performed. Out of which almost 3,000 were coronary angiograms, over 1,800 coronary angioplasties (PTCA), and 600 diagnostic catheterisations. The most commonly performed procedures are :
· Cardiac catheterisation
· Coronary angiography
· Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)
· Percutaneous Transveous Mitral Commissurotomy (PTMC)
· Pacemaker Implantations (temporary and permanent)
· Automated Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)
· Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA Occlusion)
· Balloon Dilatation (pulmonary and aortic)
· Coil Embolisation
· Electro Physiological Study (EPS)
· Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
NON INVASIVE CARDIOLOGY PROCEDURES & ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY There are 13 non-invasive procedures performed by the Department.
The most common procedures are:
· Electrocardiogram (ECG) · Echocardiogram (including transthoracic,TTE (2D) and transeosophageal · echocardiogram with colour flow and doppler) · Foetal Echocardiogram · Stress test · Stress Echocardiogram · Dobutamine Stress Echocardiogram · Radio nuclear Perfusion Test · 24 hour ambulatory ECG monitoring · Trans-Telephonic monitoring o Kings Of Heart o Rhythm Card · Pacemaker check · Cardiopulmonary Test (CPX) – VO2 Max · Executive Screening Programme (ESP)
