Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. When Plaque builds up in the arteries, the conditions is called atherosclerosis. Over time plaque can harden up rupture (break open). Hardened plaque narrows the coronary arteries and reduces the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
Coronary Angiography (CAG) is a diagnostic tool which is a gold standard to find out Coronary Artery Disease. It is done by inserting a catheter through the femoral artery (right/left) or through radial artery (right/left). It is a very safe test with very less complication rate.
A pacemaker is a battery driven equipment which is implanted is chest wall Below the collarbone. it is used in those patients who have problem-Related to low heart rate pulse rate, the longevity of the longevity of a pacemaker is about 10-12 year. A normal lifestyle can be managed by an individual after he had a Pacemaker implantation done.
If a Person experiences recurrent fast heart rate .it is called tachycardia. Many of this tachycardia can be permanently treated by a single Procedure called Electrophysiology study. An E.P study followed by Radiofrequency ablation RF Ablation. This is a non-surgical treatment Which is done by inserting various catheters through the groin.
Heart failure is a condition where pumping efficiency of heart reduces And it is not able to pump enough blood to other organs of the body. Heart failure is an end result of various heart disease.
These devices are implanted in heart failure patients. they are implanted as Pacemakers. ICD is a device which can deliver electric shock automatically When heart needs it for fast heart rate which can result in cardiac arrest and Thereby preventing sudden cardiac. The bi-ventricular pacemaker is a Device which can increase the pumping efficiency of the heart and is also Known as CRT Cardiac Resynchronisation therapy. When combined with ICD it is called CRT-D or combo devise.
