Cardiology is a medical super speciality dealing with disorders of the heart. The field includes diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and disorders of rhythm.

Our Centre of Excellence, the Unity Heart Institute is a comprehensive cardiac care centre dedicated to diagnose, manage and control cardiac diseases. Constituting a team of professionals specializing in the field of cardiac surgery and cardiology, we are committed to providing excellent patient care by a state-of-the-art cardiac cathlab and a full-fledged non-invasive cardiac unit.

NON INVASIVE CARDIOLOGY: Non-invasive cardiology focuses on the detection and treatment of heart disease, using external tests rather than instruments inserted into the body to evaluate and diagnose cardiac disorders. Patients with a history of heart disease, suspected valve disease or chest pain with unknown cause may be referred by their physician for a non-invasive evaluation.

• Electrocardiography/Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Echocardiogram (ECHO)
• Treadmill Test (TMT) / Exercise Stress
• Holter Monitoring

INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY: Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter-based treatment of structural heart diseases. The main advantage of using the interventional cardiology approach is to avoid scars and pains, and long post-operative recovery. In addition to this, interventional cardiology procedure of primary angioplasty is now the gold standard of care for an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). It involves the extraction of clots from occluded coronary arteries and deployment of stents and balloons through a small hole made in a major artery, which has given it the name "pin-hole surgery" (as opposed to "key-hole surgery").

• Coronary Angioplasty
• Peripheral Angioplasty
• Right and Left heart Cath Study
• Permanent Pacemaker
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRTD)
• Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) / Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure

INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY: Interventional Radiology is a sub speciality which provides minimally invasive image-guided diagnosis and treatment of diseases by accessing organs/structures through peripheral vascular channels.

• Renal Angiogram and Angioplasty
• Chemo Embolization of Tumors
• GI Bleed Embolization
• Access and treatment of common bile duct diseases
