Dr.Vyas's Heart Hospital

Facilities at Hospital:-

At Dr.Vyas’s Heart Hospital we practice the principle of accurate diagnosis followed by prompt treatment. For this Hospital are geared up with advanced hi-tech equipments for accurate qualitative and quantitative diagnosis. At Hospital we have in-house, Non-invasive diagnostic methods like ECG, Tread mill test, 2 D Echo with colourDoppler,Holter monitoring, Ambulatory BP monitoring, Pulmonary Function Test & advanced ICCU for critical Pateints.

ECG:-

It is basic simple test to know your heart rate; whether heart beats are regular/irregular. Any scars of previous heart attack can be identified on ECG or fresh heart attack or changes of less blood supply to heart during chest pain could be documented. But one important thing is that a normal cardiogram does not mean that you don’t have blockages.

Stress Test:-

Stress test is an exercise ECG where different leads are put on your chest and you are made to walk on a treadmill .The principle behind this is when you are walking your heart rate increases and the demand for the blood supply increases. You may feel chest discomfort or Doctor may find ECG abnormality when there is less blood supply because of the blockages.

2D Echo and color Doppler:-

In this scan we study working of a heart as a pump .We see all 4 chambers, valves of the heart and in color Doppler we make a note of blood flow across various valves and chambers. Damage to heart muscles after heart attack reduces the pumping capacity .Normal pumping capacity of heart is (Ejection Fraction - 60%).This test finds out presence of any leakage and narrowing of valves apart from detecting any congenital abnormality like holes in the heart.

Stress Echocardiography:-

This is to study complete function of heart at rest and at stress. It is mainly used in Ischemic Heart Disease, to diagnose if there is shortage of blood supply to the heart and picked up as regional wall motion abnormality on2D Echo.

Holter Monitoring:-

It is an ECG recording which is done over the period of 24 hrs through a small equipment attached to the patient’s chest region. This helps us in diagnosing rhythm disorders of the heart and specially useful in cases to detect less blood supply to heart who cannot perform stress test. Ambulatory BP Monitoring: It is the recording and monitoring of 24 hr Blood pressure. It helps the patient and the physician in correct diagnosis, effect of drug, correlation between the activity pattern and blood pressure variation etc.

Ambulatory Blood pressure Monitoring:-

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) measures blood pressure at regular intervals.[1] It is believed to be able to reduce the white coat hypertension effect in which a patient's blood pressure is elevated during the examination process due to nervousness and anxiety caused by being in a clinical setting. Out-of-office measurements are highly recommended as an adjunct to office measurements by almost all hypertension organizations.

ECP:-

External counterpulsation therapy (ECP) is a procedure performed on individuals with angina or heart failure or cardiomyopathy in order to diminish symptoms of ischemia, improve functional capacity and quality of life. In various studies, ECP has been shown to relieve angina, and decrease the degree of ischemia in a cardiac stress test.
