Hospital Procedures for Heart Conditions

It is a therapeutic procedure performed for the management of irregular heart rhythm. In this procedure, a special machine is used to send electrical energy to the heart muscle to restore normal rhythm, allowing the heart to pump more effectively.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

It is a medically supervised program to help a patient recover after a heart attack or other form of heart disease. The purpose of cardiac rehabilitation is to help the patient regain strength, prevent the condition from worsening, and reduce the risk of future heart problems.

Left Heart Catheterization

An invasive imaging procedure that allows your doctor to "see" how well your heart is supplied by blood vessels. During the test, a long, narrow tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a blood vessel in your arm or leg guided to your heart with the aid of a special X-ray machine. Contrast dye is injected through the catheter so that X-ray videos of your valves, coronary arteries, and heart chambers can be created.

It helps a heart to beat in a regular rhythm. These procedures involve the placement or maintenance of a small device (pacemaker) that monitors and influences the heart's beating. It is commonly used for conditions where the heart beats too fast, too slow, or abnormally.

Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)

This test requires that the transducer be inserted down the throat into the esophagus (the swallowing tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). Because the esophagus is located close to the heart, clear images of the heart structures can be obtained without the interference of the lungs and chest.
