Advanced Cardiac Diagnostics in Hyderabad

Early and accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective cardiac care. Our cardiology department is equipped with the latest German technology for precise, reliable cardiac diagnostics.

  1. Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)

    The ECG is the first-line test for evaluating heart health. This quick, painless test records your heart's electrical activity and helps detect:

    • Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
    • Heart attack (past or ongoing)
    • Heart muscle damage
    • Electrolyte imbalances
    • Medication effects on the heart
    Duration: 5-10 minutes | Preparation: None required | Report: Same day
    When you need it: Chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, routine screening for diabetes/hypertension patients, pre-operative assessment
  2. Echocardiography (2D Echo)

    An echocardiogram uses ultrasound technology to create detailed images of your heart's structure and function. This non-invasive test provides crucial information about:

    • Heart valve function
    • Heart chamber sizes
    • Pumping efficiency (ejection fraction)
    • Blood flow patterns
    • Heart muscle abnormalities
    • Fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion)
    Types Available:
    • Transthoracic Echo (TTE): Standard ultrasound through the chest wall
    • Stress Echocardiography: Performed during or after exercise to assess heart function under stress
    • 3D Echocardiography: Advanced imaging for detailed valve assessment
    Duration: 30-45 minutes | Preparation: None for TTE | Report: Same day or next day
    When you need it: Shortness of breath, heart murmur, suspected valve disease, heart failure evaluation, follow-up after heart surgery
  3. Treadmill Test (TMT/Stress Test)

    The stress test evaluates how your heart performs during physical activity. You'll walk on a treadmill while we monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG. This test helps:

    • Diagnose coronary artery disease
    • Determine safe exercise levels
    • Evaluate treatment effectiveness
    • Assess heart rhythm during exertion
    • Predict cardiac risk before surgery
    Duration: 30-45 minutes | Preparation: Wear comfortable shoes, avoid heavy meals 2 hours before | Report: Same day
    When you need it: Chest pain with exertion, pre-operative evaluation, cardiac rehabilitation assessment, diabetes patients over 40
  4. Holter Monitoring (24-48 Hour ECG)

    A Holter monitor is a portable ECG device you wear for 24-48 hours. It continuously records your heart rhythm during your daily activities, helping detect:

    • Intermittent arrhythmias
    • Silent ischemia (reduced blood flow without symptoms)
    • Palpitations that come and go
    • Effectiveness of heart rhythm medications
    Duration: 24 or 48 hours | Preparation: Wear comfortable clothing | Report: 2-3 days after device return
    When you need it: Unexplained palpitations, dizzy spells, suspected arrhythmia, syncope (fainting) evaluation
  5. Event Monitoring (30-Day)

    For symptoms that occur infrequently, an event monitor can be worn for up to 30 days. Unlike Holter monitoring, you activate it when you experience symptoms, making it ideal for:

    • Rare palpitations
    • Occasional chest pain
    • Intermittent dizziness
    • Unexplained fainting episodes
    Duration: Up to 30 days | Activation: Patient-triggered when symptoms occur
  6. Cardiac Biomarkers (Blood Tests)

    Our in-house laboratory performs comprehensive cardiac blood tests including:

    • Troponin I/T: Heart attack diagnosis

    • CRP (hs-CRP): Inflammation marker for cardiac risk
    • Homocysteine: Cardiovascular risk factor
    • HbA1c: Diabetes control (important for heart health)
    Duration: Blood draw 5 minutes | Preparation: 8-12 hour fasting for lipid profile | Report: Same day for urgent tests, next day for routine
  7. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

    A 24-hour blood pressure monitor that takes readings every 30 minutes during the day and every hour at night, providing a comprehensive blood pressure profile. Essential for:

    • Diagnosing white coat hypertension
    • Assessing treatment effectiveness
    • Detecting nocturnal hypertension
    • Evaluating resistant hypertension
    Duration: 24 hours | Report: 2 days after device return

Advanced Cardiac Interventions with German Technology

Our state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cath Lab) enables our cardiologists to perform minimally invasive procedures with precision and safety.

1. Coronary Angiography (CAG)

The gold standard test for evaluating coronary arteries. A thin catheter is inserted through an artery (usually in the wrist or groin) and contrast dye is injected to visualize blood flow in the heart's arteries.

What it detects:
  • Blockages in coronary arteries
  • Severity and location of narrowing
  • Number of vessels affected
  • Need for angioplasty or bypass surgery
Procedure Details:
  • Type: Day care procedure (minimally invasive)
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia
  • Duration: 30-45 minutes
  • Hospital Stay: 6-8 hours observation
  • Recovery: Resume normal activities in 2-3 days
  • Risks: Minimal - bleeding at puncture site, allergic reaction to contrast (rare), arrhythmia (rare)
  • Cost Range: (depending on approach and complexity)

2. Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting (PTCA)

If angiography reveals significant blockages, angioplasty can often be performed immediately. A balloon is inflated to open the narrowed artery, and a stent (metal mesh tube) is placed to keep it open.

Types of Stents:
  • Bare Metal Stents (BMS): Standard stents
  • Drug-Eluting Stents (DES): Coated with medication to prevent re-narrowing
  • Bioabsorbable Stents: Dissolve over time (for select cases)
Benefits:
  • Immediate symptom relief
  • Prevents heart attack
  • Avoids need for open-heart surgery
  • Faster recovery than bypass surgery
  • Can be performed as emergency procedure
Procedure Details:
  • Type: Minimally invasive
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation
  • Duration: 1-2 hours
  • Hospital Stay: 1-2 days
  • Recovery: 1-2 weeks to normal activities
  • Success Rate: 95%+ in experienced hands
  • Cost Range: (depends on number of stents and type)

3. Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin that sends electrical pulses to regulate heartbeat. Recommended for:

  • Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
  • Heart block
  • Sick sinus syndrome
  • Syncope due to rhythm problems
Types Available:
  • Single Chamber Pacemaker: Paces one heart chamber
  • Dual Chamber Pacemaker: Paces both upper and lower chambers
  • Biventricular Pacemaker (CRT): For heart failure patients
Procedure Details:
  • Type: Surgical procedure (minimally invasive)
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation
  • Duration: 1-2 hours
  • Hospital Stay: 1-2 days
  • Recovery: 4-6 weeks, avoid heavy lifting
  • Follow-up: Every 6-12 months for device check
  • Lifespan: Battery lasts 5-10 years, then device replacement needed
  • Cost Range: (depends on pacemaker type)

4. ICD/CRT-D Implantation

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): For patients at risk of sudden cardiac death from dangerous arrhythmias. Monitors heart rhythm and delivers shock if life-threatening rhythm detected.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy with Defibrillator (CRT-D): Combines pacemaker and defibrillator functions for heart failure patients.

Indications:
  • Previous sudden cardiac arrest
  • Sustained ventricular tachycardia
  • Severe heart failure with low ejection fraction
  • High risk of sudden cardiac death
Procedure similar to pacemaker but with more sophisticated device.

5. Temporary Pacemaker Insertion

For emergency situations or short-term needs:

  • During certain cardiac procedures
  • Following heart attack with heart block
  • Before permanent pacemaker implantation
  • Post-cardiac surgery
Duration: Kept for hours to days as needed

6. Cardioversion (Electrical/Chemical)

For restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias.

  • Electrical Cardioversion: Controlled electric shock delivered under sedation
  • Chemical Cardioversion: Medications given IV to restore rhythm
Duration: Procedure 5-10 minutes | Observation 2-4 hours

Frequently Asked Questions

You should consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, or a family history of heart disease should also schedule preventive heart screenings. Early evaluation helps detect risks before they become serious.
Common cardiac tests include ECG to check heart rhythm, echocardiography to assess heart structure, stress tests to evaluate heart function during activity, and Holter monitoring for continuous rhythm tracking. Blood tests may also be advised to measure cholesterol and cardiac markers. The exact test depends on your symptoms and risk factors.
Heart-related chest pain often feels like pressure, tightness, heaviness, or burning in the chest and may spread to the arm, jaw, neck, or back. It can be accompanied by sweating, nausea, or breathlessness. If chest pain lasts more than a few minutes or worsens, seek emergency care immediately to rule out a heart attack.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries. A small balloon is inserted through a catheter and inflated to restore blood flow, usually followed by stent placement. It is recommended for patients with significant artery blockage, ongoing chest pain, or during emergency treatment for a heart attack.
Many heart conditions can be prevented through lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling blood pressure and diabetes, quitting smoking, and managing stress. Routine cardiac check-ups help identify risk factors early and reduce the chances of major cardiac events.
Adults above 40 should consider annual heart screenings, even without symptoms. If you have risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, or a strong family history, your doctor may recommend more frequent evaluations. Preventive cardiology focuses on early detection to avoid complications later.
Key warning signs include persistent chest discomfort, pain radiating to the arm or jaw, severe breathlessness, cold sweats, nausea, and sudden weakness. Women may experience atypical symptoms such as unusual fatigue or indigestion-like discomfort. Immediate medical attention can significantly improve survival and recovery.
Preventive cardiology aims to identify and manage risk factors before heart disease develops. Through screenings, lifestyle guidance, and medical support, it helps reduce the likelihood of heart attacks, stroke, and chronic cardiac conditions. Prevention not only protects your heart but also improves overall quality of life.
Yes. Sedentary lifestyles, smoking, stress, obesity, and poor dietary habits have increased cardiac risk among younger adults. Conditions such as high cholesterol and hypertension can begin early without obvious symptoms. Regular health checks and healthy lifestyle choices are essential for long-term heart health.
There is no difference. A cardiologist is a medically trained heart specialist who diagnoses, treats, and helps prevent diseases related to the heart and blood vessels. Some cardiologists focus on non-invasive care, while others specialize in interventional procedures like angioplasty and device implantation.
