Get Cardiac Care With The Latest Equipment

As a result of lifestyle problems, the prevalence of cardiovascular illnesses (also known as CVD) is growing over the world.

Diseases such as stroke and ischemic heart disease are estimated to be responsible for over 17.7 million deaths in India alone, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). This figure takes into account a significant proportion of younger populations. 

COVID- Pandemic has served as a trigger for heart attacks since the virus itself may induce heart attacks. The World Heart Federation (WHF) designates September 29 as World Heart Day annually to honour cardiovascular health. This year's goal is to leverage the potential of digital health on a global scale in order to increase awareness, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Over the course of the past ten years, there has been a discernible shift in the approach that is taken to cardiac treatment. Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are bringing about revolutionary changes in the treatment procedures for heart conditions, thanks in large part to the contributions of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). 

These technology breakthroughs are making it easier to diagnose and treat critically ill patients at an earlier stage, which is improving patient outcomes.

Let's investigate the technologies that are still in the development stage but have the potential to transform what cardiac care means.
 

2D ECHO

2D echocardiogram, which is more commonly referred to as 2D echo, is a test that does not include any invasive procedures and is used to evaluate the functioning of your heart as well as its portions. With the use of sound waves, this examination is able to provide pictures of the various sections of the heart. It contributes to the monitoring of damages, obstructions, and the rate of blood flow.

Regular 2D echo tests are recommended by medical professionals in order to diagnose and treat any cardiac problems in the early stages, which will keep you healthy and active as you get older.
 

Why should you get a two-dimensional echo?

A two-dimensional echo is performed in order to diagnose the following cardiac conditions:

Any preexisting conditions related to the heart, such as illnesses or anomalies

Heart conditions present at birth, as well as clots in the blood or tumours.

A problem with one or more of the heart's valves.

A disturbance in the usual flow of blood within the heart.

A two-dimensional echo provides information on the operation of your heart, detects any problems, and helps to devise a treatment strategy for any diseases that may be developing.

Not just for your doctor's sake, but also to assist put your mind at ease, routine 2D echo examinations are recommended.
 

TMT

An improved kind of preventative screening for the detection of heart disease is called a treadmill test. A TMT can assist determine how effectively your heart is able to react even when it is exerting itself to its maximum capacity. At Apollo Clinic, we are well-equipped to conduct a treadmill test in a timely manner thanks to our cutting-edge lab technology and our team of experienced lab technicians.

A treadmill test, also known as a cardiac stress test, can assist assess how far your heart can go before developing an irregular rhythm or experiencing a reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle. Your doctor will benefit from knowing how your heart reacts when it is forced to work harder. You will be instructed to walk on a treadmill, and the incline level will be made progressively steeper as the workout progresses. Your electrocardiogram, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored continuously throughout the procedure to evaluate your heart health.
 

Why should you Get a TMT Test?

The TMT test is utilized to get a diagnosis regarding how the heart functions when subjected to stressful situations. For the purpose of this examination, a patient will be required to walk on a treadmill at a predetermined tempo. During this time, an electrical recording of the heart's activity will be performed. 

The angle of the treadmill and the speed at which it moves are both made to progressively rise over the course of the procedure in order to raise the overall stress level and evaluate the functioning of the heart.

This procedure is virtually identical to a checkup using an electrocardiogram. While walking on the treadmill, the patent holder is required to have their chest exposed. After that, an adhesive is used to secure the electrodes to the patient's chest before they are applied. 

After the electrodes have been attached to the patient, they will begin walking on the treadmill while the technician who is in charge of the test will ensure that the appropriate pace and incline are being used.
 

ECG

An electrocardiogram, often known as an ECG, is a straightforward diagnostic tool that may be used to examine the electrical activity of your heart as well as its rhythm.

The electrical impulses that are produced by your heart with each beat may be read by sensors that are applied to the skin and read continuously.

A machine is used to capture these signals, and then a physician examines them to determine whether or not they are abnormal.

An electrocardiogram may be recommended by a general practitioner (GP), a cardiologist, or any other type of clinician who is concerned that you may be experiencing issues related to your heart.
 

Why should you get an ECG test?

When diagnosing and monitoring disorders that affect the heart, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is frequently utilized in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. It is possible to use it to explore signs of a probable cardiac disease, such as chest pain, palpitations (in which the heartbeats become abruptly prominent), dizziness, and shortness of breath.
 

DSE

If you are unable to exercise, a dobutamine stress echocardiography, often known as a DSE, could be performed on you. When administered intravenously, dobutamine quickens the rate at which the heart beats. It has the same effect on the heart that physical activity does.

In the process of producing an echo, a transducer (which functions similarly to a microphone) emits ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency that is inaudible to the human ear. 

When the transducer is positioned on the chest in a certain way and at a particular angle, the ultrasonic sound waves travel through the skin and the other tissues of the body until they reach the heart tissues, where they "echo" off of the cardiac structures and return to the transducer.

 The reflected waves are captured by the transducer, which then transmits the data to a computer. The echoes are presented on the computer in the form of pictures of the heart's walls and valves.
 

Why should you get a DSE Test?

Dobutamine stress echocardiograms, often known as DSEs, may be performed for a variety of reasons, including the following:

In order to evaluate the anatomy and functions of the heart

To have a better idea of the severity of the heart valve disease that is already known

Before beginning a cardiac rehabilitation program or while recovering from a cardiac event, such as a heart attack (myocardial infarction, or MI) or heart surgery, it is important to know the upper and lower bounds of what constitutes safe activity.

To do a cardiac evaluation in preparation for heart surgery.
