About 1000 Open Heart surgeries, 8000 Coronary Angiograms, 2000 Procedures including Angioplasties and Valvuloplasties are done in this hospital

The prevalence of heart attack, which was 2% in 1960 has increased to 12% in 2008.

The consumables used for various procedures like Open-heart surgeries (Valve replacement), Angioplasty procedures, Pacemaker Procedures are becoming very expensive.

  Prevention


An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—and that's especially true for cardiovascular disease. At Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, our experts can help you gauge your risks for cardiovascular disease and outline some useful prevention strategies.

You should consider scheduling an appointment if you:

  • Are over 50
  • Are diabetic
  • Have high blood pressure (above 140/90)
  • Have high cholesterol
  • Are at least 10 pounds overweight
  • Have a family history of high cholesterol, heart disease, or high blood pressure
  Diagnosis


Among the most powerful tools available to you and your physician in the fight against cardiovascular disease is correct and early diagnosis of the problem.

At Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, our compassionate team of cardiovascular experts employ the latest technology to diagnose threats to your heart health.

The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory performs diagnostic procedures to determine the extent of disease present in the vascular system. The method involves threading a long, thin tube (called a catheter) through an artery or vein in the leg or arm and into the heart.

Doctors at the Center for Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology have developed and are using state-of-the-art techniques to diagnose arrhythmias.

In the Echocardiography Laboratory, experts use sound waves to produce an image of the heart and to see how it is functioning. They can also determine how the heart valves are working and how blood is flowing through your heart.

The Heart Center can diagnose congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular problems using a variety of techniques

  Treatment

 

For every heart condition or disease, a range of treatments can be considered. Cardiovascular care experts at Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology will work with you to determine the best treatment option for you or a loved one.

Interventional treatments performed in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory include balloon angioplasty, placement of a stent, atherectomy (removal of plaque), implantation of a pacemaker, and more.

Treatment recommended by the Heart and Lung Treatment and Transplant Center may include lifestyle changes, medicines, device implantation, and surgery. Studies show that medicines also help improve your heart function and make it easier for you to exercise or perform physical activity.

The right treatment for arrhythmias depends on each person's condition and exact diagnosis. At the Center for Cardiac Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology, treatment options range from drug therapy to implantable devices, radiofrequency ablation, and open heart surgery.

For some patients, the best options may be a heart transplant or the implantation ventricular assist device (VAD).

After your treatment—whether medical or surgical—it's important to continue your recovery. Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology offers a variety of support and recovery methods to help you along that path.
