Cardic Anatomy
The heart is a fist-sized muscular organ that works around-the-clock, pumping blood to various parts of the body. It is located between the right and left lungs in the middle of your chest, and is covered by a three-layered, fluid-filled sac called the pericardium. Know More
Cardiology Conditions
Arteriosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis is a condition in which the arteries become stiff and narrow. A common type of arteriosclerosis is atherosclerosis, a condition in which plaque builds up on the inside walls of arteries, making them thick and inflexible.
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease, also known as peripheral vascular disease, is a common vascular condition in which blood supply to the limbs is reduced due to the narrowing of arteries.
Vascular Disease
Vascular disease refers to abnormal conditions that affect the body’s blood vessels including the arteries, veins, and capillaries. The condition is characterized by damage or weakening of the blood vessels resulting in reduced blood flow.
Aortic Disease
An aortic aneurysm occurs when the walls of the aorta begin to weaken, gradually lose their elasticity and expand or bulge outwards. It can occur in any part of the aorta and would be classified as thoracic aortic aneurysm.
Cardiology Procedures
Improve Arterial Blood Flow
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a serious condition that forms plaque due to buildup of cholesterol and scar tissue inside the arteries. Individuals with PAD tend to have blocked or narrowed arteries in the legs, neck, arms and abdomen.
Arterial Doppler Ultrasound
Arterial Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive imaging test used to visualize the blood flow in the arteries, by bouncing high frequency sound waves(ultrasound) over the circulating blood cells.
Peripheral Artery Catheterization
Peripheral artery catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure in which a tiny flexible tube known as a catheter is inserted into a peripheral artery (leg or arm) that has narrowed or occluded in order to allow passage of oxygenated blood.
Peripheral Vascular Interventions
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a serious condition that forms plaque due to buildup of cholesterol and scar tissue inside the arteries. Individuals with PAD tend to have blocked or narrowed arteries in the legs, neck, arms and abdomen.
Peripheral Vascular Disease Screening
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) also referred to as peripheral artery disease is a common disease that occurs when the blood vessels that supply blood to the limbs and other organs of our body are partially or completely blocked due to plaque build-up,
