Dr Krishan Yadav is a very compassionate cardiologist who always serves with a patent-centric approach.
A build-up of plaque in the arteries causes them to be blocked. Plaque is made up of substances such as minerals like calcium, fats, and cholesterol. Blocked arteries, if left untreated cause heart attacks and heart failure. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open up the clogged arteries. It is a minimally invasive procedure. A tiny balloon catheter is inserted into the clogged artery, and it is inflated to widen the artery and improve blood flow. It is a life-saving procedure.
This is a minimally invasive procedure administered to blocked arteries. Angioplasty involves a balloon fixed to a catheter that is inserted into the blocked artery to widen it to improve blood flow. Here the inflation of a balloon is followed by the placement of a stent into the artery (Carotid, Renal, Abdominal, Limb). Stents can prevent plaque build-up in the future, promote blood flow to the heart, and relieve chest pain.
The Mitral valve is one of the four valves of the heart that keep blood flowing in the right direction. Mitral valve stenosis is a condition in which the heart’s mitral valve becomes narrowed. Stenosis causes the valve to not open properly and blocks the blood flow to the left chamber of the heart. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy is the procedure of choice for mitral valve stenosis.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole between the upper chambers of the heart. Patent ductus arteriosus insert (PDA) is a persistent opening between the two major blood vessels leading from the heart. The standard care in most cases of ASD and PDA is device closure in which a plug or coil is inserted to close the openings.
In case of abnormal heart rhythms such as Bradycardia or tachycardia, a device called a pacemaker is used to bring the heart rhythm back to normal. The device is placed surgically and can prevent life-threatening problems.
It is a device that when implanted into the body can perform defibrillation and pacing of the heart. It sends energy in the form of a shock that resets the abnormal heartbeat back to normal.
Echocardiography is a diagnostic technique that uses X-ray imaging to check how the heart’s chambers and valves are pumping blood through the heart.
The treadmill test is a diagnostic test. It is a common cardiac stress test. It is used to check for angina (lack of blood supply) in patients.
A Holter is a wearable device that is used to monitor heart activity to record the heart rhythm. It is used in case of irregular heart rhythms such as bradycardia Or tachycardia. Holter monitor record heart activity over a period of time.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a test that is used to check blood pressure over a period of time. ABPM is also used to distinguish between real hypertension and white-collar hypertension.
Patients with the severe cardiovascular disease require special systematic management. Phases include acute, subacute, outpatient, and maintenance phase.
It is a procedure performed to evaluate abnormalities or blockages in the blood vessels outside of the heart such as arms, legs, or neck
