From non-invasive diagnostic tests to complex interventions, we are dedicated to offering the most advanced treatments available, ensuring better outcomes and improved quality of life for our patients.

Comprehensive Cardiac Diagnostics

Early detection and accurate diagnosis are key to preventing heart-related issues from becoming more severe. At Triveni Hospital, we provide advanced non-invasive diagnostic tests that allow our cardiologists to assess heart function and detect potential issues early on. Our diagnostic services include:

• Echo-Doppler Studies: This non-invasive test evaluates the heart’s structure and function by using sound waves to create images of the heart chambers, valves, and surrounding blood vessels. Echo-Doppler helps identify conditions such as heart valve disease, blood clots, and heart failure.

• Treadmill Stress Testing: This test measures the heart's performance under stress or physical exertion. It is an essential diagnostic tool for identifying coronary artery disease and other cardiac conditions that may not be apparent at rest.

• Holter Monitoring: A 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG), this test records the heart's electrical activity throughout the day and night. It is particularly useful for diagnosing irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and identifying potential causes of dizziness, fainting, or palpitations.

• CT Coronary Calcium Scoring: This advanced imaging technique helps in evaluating the presence and extent of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, a key indicator of coronary artery disease. The test is useful for assessing a person’s risk of heart attack or stroke and providing early intervention options.

These advanced diagnostic tools, combined with the expertise of our skilled cardiologists, allow us to provide a comprehensive evaluation of your heart health and detect potential issues before they become life-threatening.

Interventional Cardiology: Cutting-Edge Procedures for Heart Disease

When it comes to treating heart conditions, Triveni Hospital offers a full range of interventional cardiology services. Our dedicated catheterization laboratory (cath-lab) is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by skilled professionals to perform life-saving procedures that aim to open blocked arteries, restore blood flow, and treat heart defects.

Our interventional cardiology services include:

• Primary Angioplasty: A highly effective procedure for opening blocked coronary arteries caused by a heart attack. In this procedure, a catheter is inserted through the skin to the heart’s blood vessels, where a balloon is inflated to open the blockage, followed by the placement of a stent to keep the artery open.

• Coronary Stenting: For patients with narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, coronary stenting involves placing a small mesh tube (stent) in the artery to prevent it from closing. This procedure restores normal blood flow to the heart muscle and reduces the risk of heart attacks.

• Temporary and Permanent Pacemaker Insertion: Pacemakers are devices that help regulate abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). A temporary pacemaker may be used for short-term stabilization, while a permanent pacemaker is implanted for long-term management of arrhythmias.

• Balloon Valvotomy: This procedure is used to treat heart valve diseases, specifically for patients with narrowed heart valves. A balloon is inflated inside the valve to widen the opening, allowing better blood flow through the heart.

• Device Closures for Congenital Heart Defects: Some patients are born with structural abnormalities in the heart, such as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) or atrial septal defects (ASD). These defects can be closed using special devices introduced via catheterization, eliminating the need for open-heart surgery.

All these procedures are performed with the utmost care, ensuring that patients experience minimal discomfort and the best possible outcomes. The use of cutting-edge technology allows our team to perform these procedures with high precision, reducing recovery times and improving overall success rates.

Post-Procedure Care: Monitoring, Rehabilitation, and Lifestyle Management

At Triveni Hospital, we recognize that recovery from a cardiac procedure is just as important as the procedure itself. That’s why we have a dedicated team to provide post-procedure care that promotes faster healing, prevents complications, and helps patients return to their normal activities as soon as possible.

Our Step-Down Coronary Care Unit (CCU) is designed to monitor patients after heart-related procedures. Here, patients receive continuous monitoring by intensivists (critical care specialists) and nurses, ensuring that any complications are identified and treated promptly.

We also have physiotherapists on-site who initiate early cardiac rehabilitation to help patients regain strength, mobility, and endurance following procedures like angioplasty or pacemaker insertion. Rehabilitation helps reduce the risk of further heart problems and supports a quicker return to daily activities.

Additionally, our team provides lifestyle counseling and dietary planning to help patients adopt heart-healthy habits. Nutrition plays a crucial role in heart health, and our dietitians work with patients to develop meal plans that promote cardiovascular well-being. This includes reducing sodium, sugar, and fat intake, increasing fiber, and encouraging heart-healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Preventive Cardiology: Protecting Your Heart for the Future

Prevention is always better than cure, and our Preventive Cardiology Program is designed to help individuals at risk for heart disease reduce their risk through early intervention, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring.

Our preventive services include:

• Routine cardiovascular screenings for those with risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease

• Lifestyle coaching to promote physical activity, healthy eating, smoking cessation, and stress management

• Regular check-ups and monitoring for patients with existing heart conditions to ensure they stay on track with their treatment plan

By focusing on prevention and early detection, we aim to reduce the burden of heart disease and help our patients live long, healthy lives.
