Medical Care Solutions With a Focus on Cardiology
Cardiac ablation is one of Cardiology Services and a procedure that can correct heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Cardiac ablation works by scarring or freezing tissue in your heart that triggers or sustains an abnormal heart rhythm.
Atrial fibrillation, known as AF or Afib, is an irregular, rapid heart rate that may cause symptoms like heart palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath. AF occurs when the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat out of rhythm.
Cardiac Risk Stratification is a very broad topic but simply can be defined as an assessment used to evaluate a patient's risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiac tumors are abnormal growths in the heart or heart valves. There are many types of cardiac tumors. But, cardiac tumors, in general, are rare. The tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Tumors that begin growing in the heart and stay there are called primary tumors.
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure. The main types of cardiomyopathy include dilated, hypertrophic and restrictive cardiomyopathy.
Coronary Angiography/PCI
Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses contrast dye, usually containing iodine, and x-ray pictures to detect blockages in the coronary arteries that are caused by plaque buildup. ... If you are having a heart attack, coronary angiography can help your doctors plan your treatment.
Impedance or blockage of one or more arteries that supply blood to the heart, usually due to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Abbreviated CAD. A major cause of illness and death, CAD begins when hard cholesterol substances (plaques) are deposited within a coronary artery.
Defibrillator Implantation/Follow up
ICDs detect and stop abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias). The device continuously monitors your heartbeat and delivers electrical pulses to restore a normal heart rhythm when necessary. An ICD differs from a pacemaker — another implantable device used to help control abnormal heart rhythms.
An electrocardiogram also called an EKG or ECG, is a simple test that detects and records the electrical activity of the heart. It is used to detect and locate the source of heart problems. An EKG shows how fast the heart is beating. It shows the heart’s rhythm (steady or irregular) and where in the body the heartbeat is being recorded. It also records the strength and timing of the electrical signals as they pass through each part of the heart.
Group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast or too slow. ... Many types of arrhythmia have no symptoms. When symptoms are present, these may include palpitations or feeling a pause between heartbeats.
Phlebotomy is the act of drawing or removing blood from the circulatory system through a puncture in order to obtain a sample for analysis and diagnosis.
Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is known as bad cholesterol, while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered good. ... Hyperlipidemia refers to heightened levels of 'bad' cholesterol, or ...
Known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.
Loop Recorder Implantation/Follow up
An implantable loop recorder (ILR), also known as an insertable cardiac monitor, is a small device about the size of a pack of chewing gum or USB memory stick that is implanted just under the skin of the chest for cardiac monitoring (that is, to record the heart's electrical activity).
Pacemaker Implantation/Follow up
Implantation of a small electronic device that is usually placed in the chest (just below the collarbone) to help regulate slow electrical problems with the heart. A pacemaker may be recommended to ensure that the heartbeat does not slow to a dangerously low rate.
Heart palpitations are the feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering or pounding heart. ... In rare cases, they can be a symptom of a more serious heart condition, such as an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that might require treatment.
Medical clearance” is when a surgeon requests clearance from an assessing physician before performing surgery on a patient. ... They may discuss changes in medical management that should be made to decrease risk.
Partial or complete loss of consciousness with interruption of awareness of oneself and one's surroundings (faint)
Stress echocardiogram. During this test, an echocardiogram is done both before and after your heart is stressed either by having you exercise or by injecting a medicine that makes your heart beat harder and faster. A stress echocardiogram is usually done to find out if you might have decreased blood flow to your heart (coronary artery disease, or CAD).
Abnormally fast heart rhythm arising from improper electrical activity in the upper part of the heart. There are four main types: atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), atrial flutter, and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome.
If your symptoms are infrequent your doctor may suggest an event monitor. This is a device that, when you push a button, will record and store the heart's electrical activity for a few minutes. Each time you develop symptoms you should try to get a reading on the monitor. They are typically used for one month. This information can later by transmitted by telephone to the doctor for interpretation.
• Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) ...
• Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM)
A Holter monitor is a portable EKG that monitors the electrical activity of a freely moving person's heart generally for one to two days, 24 hours a day. It is most often used when the doctor suspects an abnormal heart rhythm or ischemia (not enough blood flow to the heart muscle).
Very fast heart rhythm that begins in the ventricles. ... Ventricular tachycardia is a pulse of more than 100 beats per minute with at least three irregular heartbeats in a row. It is caused by a malfunction in the heart's electrical system.
