It covers patient with palpitations fast or slow heart beating (pulses), episodes of blackout patient at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest. It offer treatments on basis of Electrophysiological study and Radio Frequency ablation pace maker and ICD (defibrillator implantation). Our dedicated electrophysiological team at Apollo having enormous experience in all kinds of electrophysiology studies, radiofrequency ablations, pacemaker and device implantations and resynchronization therapy.
Non-Invasive Cardiology
Non invasive cardiology is relatively new field dealing with cardiac ultrasound as well as various modalities of stress. It has broad range of applications in which encompasses the entire spectrum of cardiac and vascular disease. It is crucial too the evaluation and management of coronary artery disease, rheumatic and valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies, peripheral vascular, reno vascular carotid artery disease. Recently, owing to the advent of several percutaneous interventions. It is being increasingly used to guide these interventions. For example device closure of ASD,VSD,placement of stent grafts as well as endovascular laser ablation for varicose veins. At Indraprastha Apollo Hospital we are performing on an average 100-110 basic and advanced echocardiographic and Doppler based procedure including Echo,(2-D,3D and contrast echo, TEE), stress echo, carotic and vascular Doppler studies, dyssynchrony evaluation. In addition this lab is extremely busy with TMT and performs 60-70 such procedures everyday.
