Heart Arrhythmia - Catheter Ablation treatments abroad  Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats. Destroying this tissue helps restore your heart’s regular rhythm. The procedure is also called radiofrequency ablation.   Special cells in your heart create electrical signals that travel along pathways to the chambers of your heart. These s

The most common type of heart surgery for adults is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). During CABG, a healthy artery or vein from the body is connected, or grafted, to a blocked coronary (heart) artery. The grafted artery or vein bypasses (that is, goes around) the blocked portion of the coronary artery. This creates a new path for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscle. CABG can relieve chest pain and may lower your risk of having a heart attack. Doctors also use heart surgery to

Left Heart Catheterization Abroad Left heart catheterization is the passage of a thin flexible tube (catheter) into the left side of the heart. It is done to diagnose or treat certain heart problems. Using this catheter, doctors can then do diagnostic tests as part of a cardiac catheterization. Some heart disease treatments, such as coronary angioplasty and coronary stenting, also are done using cardiac catheterization. Why it’s done? Locate narrowing or blockages in your blood v

Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) Closure treatments abroad  Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart. The opening, called the ductus arteriosus, is a normal part of a baby's circulatory system before birth that usually closes shortly after birth. If it remains open, however, it's called a patent ductus arteriosus.

Pediatric Cardiology treatments abroad  Pediatric Cardiology is a specialty that addresses heart conditions in babies [including unborn babies], children, and teenagers. The scope of pediatric cardiology practice is extensive. Pediatric Cardiologists evaluate and care for fetuses, neonates, infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. Pediatric Cardiology treatment has greatly evolved in the past few years and has helped thousands of children to lead normal lives today. W

Right Heart Catheterization treatments abroad A right heart catheterization (RHC) is the only method of precisely determining the pulmonary artery pressures and officially detecting pulmonary arterial hypertension. The test is also called pulmonary artery catheterization. Catheterization of the right side of the heart is performed through the venous route. It helps in the assessment of the following parameters: Measurement of the blood pushed out of your heart, pressure in the heart and

Surgery for Coarctation of the Aorta abroad Coarctation of the aorta (C) is the tapering of the major artery (the aorta) that carries blood to the body. It is the sixth most common lesion in inborn cardiac ailment. The consequence of the condition is higher blood pressure upstream from the tapering and decreased blood pressure downstream from the narrowing. Over the years, various surgical techniques have been used in patients with coarctation of the aorta.  On occasion, nonsurgical, cat
