Cardiology
The Department of Cardiology in Unity Hospital, Mangalore functions with team of cardiac physicians & Surgeons, interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists and paediatric cardiologists in mangalore. The Department includes diagnosis and treatments like Invasive and Interventional Cardiology, Pacemaker and Arrhythmia, Angioplasty/Angiography, Cardiac Surgery, ACD, CRT, Heart Hole Surgery(ASD,VSD,PDA), congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and descending thoracic aneurysm.
Our Centre of Excellence, the Unity Heart Institute is a comprehensive cardiac care centre dedicated to diagnose, manage and control cardiac diseases. Constituting a team of professionals specializing in the field of cardiac surgery and physicians. we are committed to providing excellent patient care by a state-of-the-art cardiac Cath lab and a full-fledged non-invasive cardiac unit.
NON INVASIVE CARDIOLOGY: Non-invasive cardiology focuses on the detection and treatment of heart disease, using external tests rather than instruments inserted into the body to evaluate and diagnose cardiac disorders. Patients with a history of heart disease, suspected valve disease or chest pain with unknown cause may be referred by their physician for a non-invasive evaluation.
- Echocardiogram (ECHO)
- Treadmill Test (TMT) / Exercise Stress
- Holter Monitoring
- Electrocardiography/Electrocardiogram (ECG)
INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY: The department of Interventional cardiology focuses on catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases. The main benefits of the interventional cardiology approach is avoidance of scars, pain and prolonged post-operative recovery. Additionally, interventional cardiology procedure of primary angioplasty is now the gold standard of care for an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Procedures include Angioplasty, Percutaneous coronary intervention, Valvuloplasty. Angioplasty helps the extraction of clots from occluded coronary arteries and followed by pin hole surgery (deployment of stents and balloons through a small hole made in a major artery)
- Coronary Angioplasty
- Peripheral Angioplasty
- Right and Left heart Cath Study
- Permanent Pacemaker Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRTD)
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) / Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY: Interventional Radiology is a sub speciality which provides minimally invasive image-guided diagnosis and treatment of diseases by accessing organs/structures through peripheral vascular channels.
- Renal Angiogram and Angioplasty
- Chemo Embolization of Tumors
- GI Bleed Embolization
- Access and treatment of common bile duct diseases
