Cardiology

Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty of cardiology that focuses on using catheter-based techniques to diagnose and treat heart conditions. These minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty and stent implantation, are used to manage coronary artery disease, congenital heart defects, and other cardiovascular conditions. Interventional cardiologists employ advanced imaging techniques, like angiograms, to visualize blood flow in the coronary arteries and guide the placement of stents, which help keep arteries open and prevent heart attacks. This field has significantly improved the prognosis and quality of life for patients with heart disease, reducing the need for more invasive surgeries.

At Lohithsai Hospital in Siddipet, comprehensive care for common chest pain and heartburn is provided, ensuring patients receive timely and effective treatments. The hospital is well-equipped with the latest technology for performing angiograms and cardiac catheterization (heart stent) implantation, essential for diagnosing and treating blockages in the coronary arteries. By offering these advanced interventional cardiology services, Lohithsai Hospital helps manage acute and chronic cardiovascular conditions, ensuring patients in Siddipet have access to high-quality, life-saving cardiac care close to home.

    Angiogram
  • Diagnostic imaging technique using X-rays to visualize blood vessels
  • Helps identify blockages or abnormalities in the coronary arteries
  • Involves injecting a contrast dye through a catheter into the blood vessels
    Stent Implantation
  • Procedure to insert a small mesh tube (stent) into a narrowed or blocked arterya
  • Stents help keep the artery open, improving blood flow
  • Often used in conjunction with angioplasty (balloon dilation of the artery)
    Angioplasty
  • Minimally invasive procedure to widen narrowed or obstructed blood vessels
  • Uses a balloon-tipped catheter to expand the artery
  • Often performed before stent placement
    Catheter-Based Procedures
  • Techniques involve inserting thin, flexible tubes (catheters) into blood vessels
  • Allows for diagnosis and treatment without open surgery
  • Reduces recovery time and hospital stay



    Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Management
  • Interventional cardiology is crucial in treating CAD
  • Procedures like angioplasty and stent implantation restore blood flow
  • Improves symptoms like chest pain and reduces the risk of heart attacks
    Advanced Imaging Techniques
  • Utilize fluoroscopy and other imaging methods for precise guidance
  • Enhances the accuracy of interventional procedures
  • Ensures better outcomes and reduced complications
    Minimally Invasive
  • Focus on reducing invasiveness compared to traditional surgery
  • Lower risk of infection and quicker recovery times
  • Often performed under local anesthesia
    Heart Attack Treatment
  • Emergency interventions like primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction
  • Quickly restores blood flow to minimize heart muscle damage
  • Essential for improving survival rates
    Electrophysiology Studies (EPS)
  • Assess and treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
  • Procedures include catheter ablation to correct irregular heartbeats
  • Often performed alongside other interventional techniques
    Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
  • Treatments extend beyond the heart to peripheral arteries
  • Similar techniques used to open blockages in legs or other areas
  • Helps improve circulation and reduce symptoms like leg pain or ulcers


Lohithsai Hospital is committed to delivering high-quality cardiac surgery services with a focus on patient safety, comfort, and successful recovery.
