Aster Hospital's Cardiology Department offers advanced cardiac catheterization with the hemodynamic assessment to evaluate and manage cardiovascular conditions. This procedure is conducted by experienced cardiologists and it involves inserting a catheter into the heart's chambers and blood vessels to measure crucial hemodynamic parameters like cardiac output and pulmonary artery pressure. These measurements help in accurate diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as heart failure, valvular disorders, and congenital heart defects.
The expert team at Aster utilizes the data from cardiac catheterization hemodynamic assessment to guide treatment decisions and optimize patient outcomes. By identifying blood flow and pressure abnormalities, cardiac catheterization hemodynamic assessment helps address specific patient needs, particularly in severe valvular stenosis or regurgitation cases where precise timing for valve replacement or repair is essential.
Before cardiac catheterization with hemodynamic assessment, the patient is prepared for the procedure. Under local anesthesia, a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel from the groin, neck, or wrist and guided towards the heart with X-rays. Once it reaches the heart chambers, various measurements like pressure measurements, blood flow rates, and oxygen levels are assessed. Contrast dye added through the catheter makes blood vessels visible on X-ray. All these data are collected for analysis.
The Aster facility has advanced imaging technologies, like intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, that enhance the precision and safety of cardiac catheterization procedures. Aster Hospital ensures a seamless experience with a multidisciplinary team throughout the assessment process.
