The Heart Institute at Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital is a committed centre offering state-of-the-art comprehensive cardiac care to patients with cardiovascular diseases such as angina, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, rhythm disorder, congenital cardiac disease and heart failure. From diagnostic, nuclear scans, PET/ CT scan, non-invasive cardiology, to top-class interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, and neuro interventional services, including the full range of cardiac and vascular surgery, we offer a full range of treatment and services under one roof.Best Heart Care Hospital in Mumbai
Our heart care team comprises of cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, cardiac anaesthesiologists, intensivists, and intensive care experts have adopted a ‘Heart Team’ approach and work in synergy for delivering the best possible outcomes. Our experts at the institute are recognised for their expertise in the field of Interventional cardiology including Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI), Coronary Bypass Surgery, Total Arterial Grafting, Complex Congenital Cardiac Surgery, Surgery for Aneurysm, etc. We perform a wide range of coronary angioplasty and interventions required for correction of congenital anomalies and electrophysiology studies.
The dedicated specialist units at the institute are further streamlined into various sub-disciplines of ‘Cardiac Care’. These include:
- Invasive Interventional Cardiology which includes
- Coronary intervention including complex angioplasties, PAMI(Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction)
- Pacemakers
- Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD)
- Congenital anomalies
- Peripheral interventions
- Non invasive Cardiology
- Echocardiogram (Echo)
- Treadmill Stress Test (TMT)
- Holter
- Ambulatory Blood Pressure (ABP) monitoring
- Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
- Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery
- Arrhythmia Services
- Heart Failure Clinic
The institute also offers round-the-clock multidisciplinary, comprehensive emergency care to patients suffering from critical heart diseases. We are equipped with state-of-the-art Intensive Cardiac Care Unit that has technologically advanced monitoring equipment and certified staff to administer emergency services 24×7.
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
Our Heart Centre offers the most comprehensive care to patients suffering from various heart diseases. Our cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons are well trained in evaluating, diagnosing and performing cardiovascular surgery in or order to treat patients suffering from heart rhythm disorders.
Staff at Nanavati Hospital implants hundreds of implantable devices to help people live a quality of life without worrying much about their heart.
What Is Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)?
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also termed as biventricular pacing, involves the use of a special kind of pacemaker known as a biventricular pacemaker – that works by sending small electrical impulses through the leads attached to it, in order to keep the right and left ventricles pumping together, called AV synchrony. It is designed to help the ventricles contract normally and improve the heart’s rhythm and symptoms associated with arrhythmia or heart failure.
How Does A Biventricular Pacemaker Works?
The pacemaker is implanted just below the collarbone. There are three wires connected to the devices monitor that helps in detecting heart rate irregularities and in synchronizing the heart by emitting tiny pulses of electricity to correct them.
Diagnostic Procedure
The doctor performs several tests to diagnose the find the cause of irregular heartbeats, before implanting a biventricular pacemaker. These tests are performed using:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Holter monitoring
- Echocardiogram
- Stress test
Benefits Of CRT
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) helps in improving the heart’s efficiency by increasing blood flow in patients who have experienced heart failure symptoms such as shortness of breath that aren’t controlled with medication. It improves the overall quality of life of the patient and decreases in hospitalization and morbidity.
Results
Having a biventricular pacemaker will help in improving the symptoms caused due to heart failure & slow heartbeats.
