Paediatric Cardiac Surgery

Overview

Paediatric cardiac surgery is a specialised field dedicated to diagnosing and treating congenital and acquired heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. These conditions range from minor defects, such as a small hole in the heart, to complex anomalies requiring intricate surgical interventions. The primary goal of paediatric cardiac surgery is to enhance the quality of life and long-term health outcomes of young patients, enabling them to lead active and fulfilling lives.

Overview

Structural heart disease encompasses a range of congenital and acquired conditions that affect the heart's anatomy, including its valves, walls, and chambers. These abnormalities can disrupt normal blood circulation, leading to various symptoms and complications. Common types include valvular heart disease, atrial septal defects, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Heart Failure & Transplant: A Comprehensive Overview

Overview

Preventive cardiology is a specialised branch of medicine dedicated to reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) through early detection, risk assessment, and lifestyle modifications. With heart disease being a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, preventive cardiology plays a crucial role in promoting long-term heart health.

Electrophysiology at Apollo Hospitals

Overview

Electrophysiology is a specialised branch of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders, known as arrhythmias. The heart’s electrical system regulates its beating, ensuring a coordinated rhythm. When disruptions occur, they can lead to conditions ranging from benign irregularities to life-threatening arrhythmias.

Interventional Cardiology

Overview

Interventional cardiology is a specialised branch of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions using minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures. Unlike traditional open-heart surgery, these advanced techniques provide faster recovery times, reduced risks, and enhanced patient comfort.
