Cardiology Department – EMC Hospital, Green Avenue, Amritsar
At EMC Hospital, our Cardiology Department is dedicated to providing the highest level of cardiac care for heart conditions. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including two fully functional Cath Labs, and led by experienced cardiologists, our department ensures that patients receive timely and effective treatment for all cardiac-related issues.
Key Facilities and Services
1. Two Advanced Cath Labs
EMC Hospital’s Cath Labs are equipped with the latest technology to perform a variety of diagnostic and interventional cardiology procedures. These labs allow for quick and precise treatment of heart conditions, including:
- Coronary Angiography (CAG): Imaging to identify blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries.
- Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA): A procedure to open blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow using stents.
- Pacemaker Implantation: Insertion of pacemakers to regulate abnormal heart rhythms.
- ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator): A device to prevent sudden cardiac arrest by detecting and correcting life-threatening arrhythmias.
2. Non-Invasive Cardiology Treatments
In addition to interventional cardiology, EMC Hospital provides non-invasive cardiology services that allow for the assessment and monitoring of heart function without the need for surgery:
- CD Echo (Color Doppler Echocardiography): Uses ultrasound to visualize the heart’s chambers, valves, and blood flow in real-time.
- Stress Echo: Assesses how well the heart performs under stress, typically induced by exercise or medication, to detect underlying heart issues.
- TMT (Treadmill Test): A stress test that monitors the heart’s activity during physical exertion, helping to identify coronary artery disease or other heart problems.
Common Cardiac Symptoms
It’s important to seek medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms, as they may indicate a heart condition:
- Chest Pain or Pressure: Often a sign of angina or a heart attack, this may feel like squeezing, pressure, or heaviness in the chest.
- Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity or at rest, can be a sign of heart failure.
- Palpitations: Feeling of a racing, irregular, or skipped heartbeat.
- Dizziness or Fainting: This could be related to arrhythmias or poor blood flow to the brain.
- Swelling in the Ankles, Legs, or Abdomen: Common in heart failure due to fluid buildup.
Cardiac Treatments Offered at EMC Hospital
EMC Hospital’s Cardiology Department offers a wide range of treatment options tailored to individual patient needs:
- Medication Management: For managing high blood pressure, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
- Angioplasty and Stent Placement: To open narrowed or blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart.
- Pacemaker and ICD Implantation: Devices that help manage abnormal heart rhythms and prevent sudden cardiac death.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation: Post-surgery or post-heart attack rehabilitation to help patients regain their strength and improve heart health.
Cardiothoracic Surgery Services
Our Cardiothoracic Surgery Department provides specialized care for patients requiring heart or thoracic surgeries. These procedures are performed by skilled surgeons and involve complex operations to treat heart and lung conditions:
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): A surgery to bypass blocked coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart.
- Heart Valve Repair/Replacement: Surgical intervention to repair or replace damaged heart valves, such as the aortic or mitral valve.
- Thoracic Surgery: Surgical treatment of diseases affecting the lungs, esophagus, and other organs within the chest cavity.
