There are many different cardiac procedures that can be performed to diagnose and treat heart problems. Some of the most common cardiac procedures include: 

• Cardiac catheterization: A thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm or leg and threaded up to the heart. This procedure can be used to diagnose heart problems, such as coronary artery disease, and to treat some heart conditions, such as heart failure.

• Angiography: A contrast dye is injected into the heart during a cardiac catheterization. This allows the doctor to see the blood vessels in the heart on X-ray images.

• Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): A balloon is inflated inside a narrowed coronary artery during a cardiac catheterization. This can open up the artery and improve blood flow to the heart. A stent may also be placed in the artery to keep it open.

• Thrombolytic therapy: This is a medication that is used to dissolve blood clots that are blocking a coronary artery. This treatment can be used to save the heart muscle if it is damaged by a heart attack.

• Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery: This surgery involves grafting healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body to bypass narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the risk of heart attack.

• Heart valve surgery: This surgery can be used to repair or replace a heart valve that is not working properly. Heart valve problems can cause a variety of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting.

• Pacemaker surgery: A pacemaker is a small device that is implanted in the chest to help regulate the heart rhythm. Pacemakers are used to treat a variety of heart rhythm problems, including atrial fibrillation and bradycardia.

• Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) surgery: An ICD is a small device that is implanted in the chest to monitor the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock if the heart rhythm becomes dangerously irregular. ICDs are used to treat a variety of heart rhythm problems, including ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest.

The specific cardiac procedure that is right for you will depend on your individual needs and the severity of your heart condition. Talk to Best Cardiologist in Bangalore Dr. Nutan kumar DM about the different cardiac procedures that are available and which one is right for you.
