Cardiology is the medical specialty that focuses on the heart and blood vessels. It involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart conditions such as heart attacks, arrhythmias, heart failure, congenital heart defects, and more.
At Shoor Hospital, we provide comprehensive cardiac care, combining advanced technology with expert cardiologists to deliver accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Our Cardiology Services
We offer both non-invasive and invasive cardiac services to evaluate and manage heart conditions effectively.
Non-Invasive Cardiology Services
These tests do not require surgery and are used to detect heart problems through imaging or monitoring techniques:
- ECG (Electrocardiogram) – Measures the electrical activity of your heart.
- TMT (Treadmill Test) – Includes stress and Dobutamine-induced TMT to evaluate heart function under stress.
- Holter Monitoring / Ambulatory BP Monitoring – Continuous 24-hour monitoring of your heart rate or blood pressure.
- 2D Echocardiography (2D Echo) – Ultrasound imaging of the heart.
- Spirometry – A test to assess lung function, often used in cardiac patients with breathlessness.
Invasive Cardiology Services
These involve procedures done through catheters or minor surgery to diagnose or treat structural or electrical issues in the heart.
Coronary Angiography
A procedure to view the coronary arteries using a dye injected through a small tube (catheter). It helps detect blockages.
Coronary Angioplasty with Stenting
A treatment to open blocked arteries using a balloon and placing a stent to keep them open, improving blood flow to the heart.
Carotid Angiography and Angioplasty
Used to examine and treat blockages in the carotid arteries (in the neck), which supply blood to the brain.
Peripheral Angiography
A test to find narrowed or blocked arteries in the legs or arms using X-rays and contrast dye.
Biventricular ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)
A special device implanted in patients with heart failure. It helps synchronize the pumping of both heart ventricles and can deliver shocks if dangerous rhythms are detected.
AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator)
This device continuously monitors the heart and delivers shocks to correct life-threatening arrhythmias, preventing sudden cardiac arrest.
CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) / Biventricular Pacing
This therapy uses a pacemaker to help both sides of the heart beat in sync. It improves heart efficiency and reduces symptoms of heart failure.
Permanent Pacemaker Implantation
This involves placing one or two leads in the heart to help maintain a normal heart rhythm in patients with a slow heartbeat. The procedure is done under local anesthesia.
Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV/PMV)
Used to treat mitral valve stenosis (narrowing of the mitral valve). A balloon is used to widen the valve, improving blood flow.
Peripheral Embolectomy
A surgical procedure to remove a blood clot (embolus) that blocks blood flow to organs or limbs. It is performed in emergencies to save tissue and prevent complications.
Device Closure – ASD, VSD, PDA
These are congenital heart defects (holes in the heart). With advanced device closure techniques, we can close these defects without open-heart surgery, allowing for quick recovery and next-day discharge.
Electrophysiology (EP) Study with RF Ablation
A test to analyze the heart’s electrical activity. If abnormal rhythms are detected, radiofrequency ablation is used to correct them by destroying the faulty electrical pathways.
Treatment Modalities in Cardiology
Our goal is to improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and prevent complications. We offer a variety of treatment options:
1. Medications
Used to manage blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rhythm, heart failure, and prevent blood clots.
2. Interventional Procedures
Minimally invasive procedures like:
- Angiography
- Angioplasty
- Stenting
- Balloon Valvuloplasty
- Device Closures
- EP Ablation
3. Cardiac Surgery
Performed in collaboration with cardiothoracic surgeons when complex procedures are needed.
4. Lifestyle Modifications
We guide patients in making heart-healthy lifestyle changes such as:
- Diet control
- Exercise
- Smoking cessation
- Stress management
5. Implantable Devices
We offer state-of-the-art devices like:
- Pacemakers
- ICDs (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators)
- CRT Devices (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy)
