Advanced cardiac care

Introduction

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity around the globe. In the medical field, many technological advancements are coming daily and inventions in the cardiovascular unit are no way less. Each Hospital is engaged in acquiring the latest equipment in the respective field.

Heart diseases, are categorized into various types. Broadly, there are three groups of sub-Speciality-Preventive cardiology, Interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery. While preventive cardiology deals with preventive steps in cardiovascular disease, Interventional cardiology is all about diagnosis and managing a heart attack or other interventional treatments except cardiac surgeries which is a Cardiac surgeon’s domain.

Aster RV Hospitals, the best treatment for heart related problems in Bangalore, is with all the latest facilities from all three of the above categories for effective cardiac care. We understand the critical role of a strong multidisciplinary group in delivering the best care to patients. We have a team of the best Doctors for Heart Problems in Bangalore and we are keen on continuing our expansion along with a team of highly skilled and dedicated physicians and nurses.

Preventive cardiology deals with primarily health check packages & non-invasive procedures. Different types of health check-up packages suiting your age group are available, for you to choose from. If you encounter any problem in choosing a package suitable to you, please ask our health check Executive who will be pleased to help you. Depending on the cardiac package chosen, investigations range from a simple ECG, Lipid profile to TMT/ECHO. Some cardiologists recommend cardiac CT or cardiac MRI scan to rule out cardiac involvement as part of a cardiac check.

Interventional cardiology

The majority of cardiac patients seen in this unit of invasive cardiology are for Angiogram +/-Angioplasty. While the former is a diagnostic procedure, the latter is for treatment. In Angiogram, if block/s are seen revascularisation is the only solution. ie the heart muscles which were not receiving adequate blood supply, due to block/s in its arteries are revived by this procedure known as Angioplasty. In this procedure, a small spring-like material – stent is placed inside the artery which is blocked to maintain the patency, and the blood supply is thus restored.

Certain congenital cardiac deformities like a hole in the heart (ASD, VSD) etc when closed using a device comes under the preview of the department. Procedures like Pace Maker implantation in case of heart failure, Electro-physiology etc are performed by the Interventional cardiologist.  Aster RV Hospitals have the best team of Cardiologist in Bangalore

Cardiac surgery: Advanced care for complex heart conditions

Cardiac surgery plays a critical role in the treatment of patients with complex heart diseases, particularly when multiple arteries are blocked or when all three major coronary arteries are affected. In such cases, open-heart surgery becomes essential to restore proper blood flow to the heart muscles—a process known as revascularization.

One of the most common surgical procedures performed for this purpose is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). During CABG, cardiac surgeons use arterial grafts such as the Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) and Right Internal Mammary Artery (RIMA), or harvest veins from the legs or arms, to bypass the blocked arteries. This ensures that oxygen-rich blood reaches the heart muscles effectively, reducing symptoms and improving long-term outcomes. With the surgeon an expert in ‘Beating heart bypass operation in Bangalore”, Dr.Divakar Bhat at Aster RV Hospitals, the success rates in  CABG is very high.

At our facility, these procedures are conducted in state-of-the-art Operation Theatres (OTs) equipped with vertical laminar flow systems that maintain sterile environments and reduce the risk of post-operative infections.

In addition to CABG, our team also performs a wide range of other open-heart procedures. These include the surgical repair or replacement of heart valves (such as aortic or mitral valves), correction of congenital heart defects like holes in the heart (e.g., atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect), and procedures addressing aneurysms or cardiac tumors.
