Diseases & Conditions Treated

Being a heart specialistity hospital in Hyderabad, the Cardiology department at CARE Hospitals provides comprehensive care for various heart and vascular conditions. Some of the common diseases and conditions treated are as follows:

• Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections: Aortic aneurysms are the dilatations or ruptures of the aorta.
• Arrhythmias (Heart Rhythm Disorders): Abnormal beats such as Atrial Fibrillation, Tachycardia, and Bradycardia are referred to as arrhythmias.
• Cardiomyopathies (Heart Muscle Diseases): Cardiomyopathies are diseases that affect the heart muscle and can cause it to be either thick or weak, thus leading to the heart finally having to stop working (Dilated or Hypertrophic cardiomyopathies).
• Congenital Heart Defects (Adults and Children): Congenital heart defects are the structural heart disorders that are characteristically present from birth, the most common ones being various septal defects (ASD, VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and complex conditions.
• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS): These are the conditions where the gradual narrowing or complete blockage of the blood supply to the heart takes place. This in turn led to different heart conditions such as stable angina, unstable angina, and acute heart attack (Myocardial Infarction).
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) & Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the condition where a clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the legs, and can potentially enter the lungs (PE).
• Heart Failure (HF): Heart failure is a long-term condition where the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood for the body's requirements.
• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): High BP is a condition characterized by the continuous increase of blood pressure, which leads to the heart and arteries getting damaged.
• Hypercholesterolemia and Dyslipidemia: Hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia are conditions characterized by elevated levels of unhealthy fats (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood, which accelerates atherosclerosis.
• Infective Endocarditis and Pericardial Diseases: These are the contagious diseases affecting the heart lining or valves (Endocarditis) and around the heart (Pericarditis, Effusions) where fluid builds up.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): PAD is the condition where the blood vessels in the extremities (arms/legs) become hard and narrow and results in pain (claudication), non-healing ulcers, and limb ischemia.
• Valvular Heart Disease: Valvular heart disease is the presence of problems or injury to the four heart valves (aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary), which manifest as regurgitation (leaking) or stenosis (narrowing). 

Cardiac Diagnostics & State-of-the-Art Facilities at CARE Hospitals

CARE Hospitals, as the best cardiologist hospital in Hyderabad, pairs top-level diagnostic services with the latest equipment so that every part of heart treatment is thorough and exact. The entire treatment plan covers the patient from the initial diagnostic test to high-level surgery. Key facilities and technologies that show our promise to the best heart care are:

• Advanced Cardiac Catheterization Labs: The modern laboratories and the advancements for interventional cardiology, such as high-quality fluoroscopy and real-time hemodynamic monitoring, allow our interventional cardiologists to perform all types of catheter-based procedures, including complex coronary angioplasty and advanced stent use, and also make you explore procedures associated with structural heart maneuvers, including TAVI/TAVR and MitraClip.
• High-Resolution Cardiac Imaging: We provide unmatched diagnostic accuracy with state-of-the-art imaging capabilities. Imaging technologies in our hospital include 3D Echocardiography, Cardiac MRI, multi-slice CT Angiography, and Cardiac PET scans. 
• Laboratory Tests: We focus on accurate and precise clinical findings for our patients, which will provide the prompt diagnosis and help them to get the customized and targeted treatment. These include:
  • Lipid Profile: Lipid profile evaluates total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, which are relevant measures for cardiovascular risk as they relate to heart disease.
  • High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hs-CRP): This is an inflammatory marker that indicates the increased risk for heart attack.
  • Cardiac Biomarkers: Troponin and CK-MB are the cardiac biomarkers that are used to assess heart muscle damage after a possible myocardial infarction.
  • B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP): This is the hormone produced by the heart that aids in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure.
  • Homocysteine: The raised levels may relate to increased risk for coronary artery disease.
  • Blood Glucose Tests (Fasting Glucose and HbA1c): Fasting glucose and HbA1c are crucial in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes.
• Non-Invasive Cardiac Diagnostics: Non-invasive cardiac tests give important and detailed information about how the heart works, its electrical activity, and how it responds to stress and normal situations. Through these examinations, even the existence of irregularities, usually not detectable by a standard physical cardiac examination, could be identified:
• 2D/3D Echocardiography (Echo): This non-invasive ultrasound method provides clear images of the heart's anatomy, including its valves and functions.
• Treadmill Test (TMT)/Stress Test: This is the test that takes place on a treadmill under the supervision of a doctor; it shows the state of the heart and its ability to cope with physical stress by monitoring the electrical activity of the heart and blood pressure.
• Holter Monitoring: In this, a small portable ECG machine will be worn by the patient for a period of 24 to 48 hours, and then it continuously records the heart's electrical activity, mainly to detect sporadic arrhythmias that might not be picked up during a standard ECG.
• Tilt Table Test: This is the test performed to investigate the possible causes of unexplained syncope by measuring the heart rate and blood pressure of a patient at various angles.
• Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM): The device records blood pressure on a regular basis, for example, every 15, 20-25, 30, or 60 minutes over a 24-hour period, to make an accurate assessment of the patient's blood pressure characteristics.

This dedication to precise diagnosis and innovative treatment is why patients trust the best cardiologist in Hyderabad at our facility. We keep every step - tests, treatment and operation - in one place - people see us as the top heart hospital in Hyderabad, setting a benchmark for cardiac excellence in the region.

• Dedicated Electrophysiology (EP) Labs: Our state-of-the-art solutions for heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) are the best in healthcare. Our EP labs have 3D cardiac mapping systems that can exactly locate the spot where the irregular heartbeats are coming from. Our specialists carry out sophisticated radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation operations, besides the implantations of pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices.
• Hybrid Operating Theatres: Our Hybrid Operating Theatres have the cath lab with a surgical suite, which permits the same space to be used for both minimally invasive and open-heart procedures. This is essential for difficult cases, as it allows the surgeons to change their way in real-time for the patient’s safety and better results.
• Robotic Cardiac Surgery: We provide Robotic-Assisted Cardiac Surgery through the da Vinci surgical system when patients meet the required criteria. This minimally invasive method can make more minor incisions, cause less pain, result in less blood loss, and allow a much quicker recovery compared to the classic surgery.
• Dedicated Cardiac Thoracic ICUs (CTICUs): Care after surgery is very crucial. The CTICUs are home to state-of-the-art facilities that cater to 24/7 critical care specialists to provide safe and smooth recovery for patients who undergo major heart surgery.
• Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Services: The patient's recovery period will be lengthy due to the hospital stay. The hospital offers a structured cardiac rehabilitation program inclusive of medically supervised exercise, dietary advice, and lifestyle changes, which enable the patient to overcome strength loss and avert future heart problems.
• Telecardiology and Remote Monitoring: Our telecardiology services have made it possible to hold consultations online, monitor implanted cardiac devices continuously, and schedule follow-up visits promptly through the use of advanced technology, thereby ensuring our patients receive expert guidance no matter where they are.

This merger of technology, infrastructure, and expertise makes sure that CARE Hospitals continues to be the a top-notch heart hospital in Hyderabad, committed to superior patient outcomes and a new lease on life.

Treatment and Procedures

As the leading Hyderabad heart hospital, CARE Hospitals provides an extensive array of treatments and procedures that are up to the task of managing and treating cardiovascular diseases. The principal treatments and procedures comprise the following:

• Coronary Angioplasty: This is a catheter-based technique that is a balloon-dilated treatment that expands the blood vessel that is blocked or narrowed through the use of a balloon, thus allowing better blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Stenting: It is a process of placing a very tiny net-like tube (stent) into the artery that has just been opened (after angioplasty) to continue the flow and to stop the narrowing from happening again. 
• Rotablation: It is an innovative angioplasty approach that employs a super-fast revolving burr (drill) to eliminate hard, calcified plaque inside the coronary artery. 
• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): It is a significant operation that reroutes blood flow from the blocked coronary artery through the vein graft and thus increases the heart oxygen supply. 
• Endovascular Repair (Stent-Graft): It is a non-invasive treatment process for aortic aneurysms or dissections by placing a metal tube (stent-graft) covered with fabric inside the artery. 
• Open Surgical Reconstruction: This is a classic and major surgery performed on the aorta or heart structure to either repair or replace it using grafts. 
• Cardioversion: This is a noninvasive technique using electric shocks or drugs to return an abnormal heart rhythm to the normal sinus rhythm. 
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): This is a medical procedure that uses heat (radiofrequency energy) to kill tiny pieces of heart tissue responsible for generating abnormal electrical signals (arrhythmias).
• Pacemaker/ICD Implantation: This implantation involves the surgical placement of a small device to regulate slow heart rhythms (Pacemaker) or correct life-threatening fast rhythms (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator).  
• Interventional Device Closure (ASD/VSD/PDA): In this procedure, the doctor threads a thin tube through a blood vessel to the heart and sets a plug that seals a hole in the wall between chambers or vessels. 
• Pediatric/Adult Cardiac Surgery: In this surgery, the surgeon opens the chest, stops the heart, and repairs or rebuilds parts that were wrongly formed at birth or failed later. 
• Thrombolysis (Clot Busters): This involves injecting drugs that dissolve clots in coronary or pulmonary arteries. 
• IVC Filter Placement: In this procedure, a doctor inserts a metal basket into a large vein to trap leg clots and prevent them from reaching the lungs. 
• Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Implantation: This is the procedure where the surgeon sews a mechanical pump into the heart circuit so the machine pushes blood while the patient's own muscle rests. 
• Pericardiocentesis: This technique employs a needle to remove fluid that has collected around the heart (pericardial effusion) and lessen pressure on the heart.  
• Surgical Valve/Pericardium Repair/Replacement: This is an open-heart procedure performed to repair or replace a harmed heart valve or to repair the sac surrounding the heart.  
• Peripheral Angioplasty and Stenting: This is a minimally invasive technique employed to restore blood flow in blocked arteries of the arms, legs, or neck.
• Peripheral Vascular Bypass Surgery: This procedure aims to restore proper blood circulation in the limbs by creating a new pathway around a blocked artery using a graft.  
• Transcatheter Valve Procedures (TAVI/MitraClip): This minimally invasive procedure (TAVI for Aortic Valves, MitraClip for Mitral Valves, etc.) repairs or replaces heart valves without open-heart surgery. 
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): This therapy uses a device (specialized pacemaker) in order to coordinate the beating of the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles), specifically in patients with severe heart failure.
