Complex Angioplasties
Complex angioplasties are advanced interventional procedures used to treat severe or multi-vessel coronary artery disease. These are performed when blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart are particularly challenging to manage. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the blocked artery, inflating a tiny balloon to open it, and placing a stent to keep it open permanently. This is often required for high-risk patients with multiple blockages or unique anatomical challenges. Dr. Singh’s extensive experience ensures optimal outcomes even in the most complicated cases.
ECHO Test
An echocardiogram is a non-invasive, ultrasound-based diagnostic test that produces real-time images of the heart. It is used to assess the structure, size, pumping ability, and blood flow of the heart. This test is crucial for diagnosing heart valve problems, congenital heart defects, and other abnormalities such as fluid buildup around the heart. With state-of-the-art equipment, Dr. Singh uses ECHO tests to accurately evaluate a patient’s heart health and determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)
Fractional Flow Reserve is a highly precise diagnostic tool used during coronary angiography to measure pressure differences across a coronary artery blockage. This helps in determining whether the blockage is causing a significant restriction in blood flow to the heart. Unlike traditional imaging, FFR provides functional data, guiding the decision to perform interventions like stenting or bypass surgery. Dr. Singh’s proficiency with FFR ensures that only necessary procedures are performed, avoiding overtreatment while optimizing patient outcomes.
Primary Angioplasty
Primary angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a life-saving emergency procedure performed during an acute heart attack. The goal is to quickly reopen the blocked coronary artery to restore blood flow and prevent further heart muscle damage. During the procedure, a catheter is guided to the site of the blockage, where a balloon is inflated to clear the obstruction, and a stent is placed to keep the artery open. Dr. Singh’s ability to handle such critical cases with precision and speed greatly improves survival rates and recovery outcomes for his patients.
Holter Monitoring
Holter monitoring is a continuous recording of a patient’s heart rhythm over 24-48 hours or longer, using a small, wearable device. It is often used to detect intermittent arrhythmias, palpitations, or episodes of fainting that might not appear during a standard electrocardiogram (ECG). This test provides valuable data on how a patient’s heart responds to normal daily activities. Dr. Singh uses this data to diagnose and manage conditions like atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or other irregular heart rhythms, ensuring effective treatment plans.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Blood pressure monitoring involves tracking a patient’s blood pressure over a continuous period, either in-clinic or through ambulatory devices. This service helps diagnose conditions like hypertension or fluctuating blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other complications. Continuous monitoring provides a detailed understanding of a patient’s blood pressure patterns, allowing Dr. Singh to tailor treatment strategies, such as medication or lifestyle changes, to control and manage blood pressure effectively.
