SERVICES

Cardiac & Cardiac Surgery Clinic
A Cardiac & Cardiac Surgery Clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating heart conditions and providing surgical interventions. Services typically include:
- Cardiac Diagnostics: Tests like EKGs, echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac imaging to assess heart function.
- Medical Management: Treatment of heart diseases through medications, lifestyle changes, and monitoring.
- Surgical Interventions: Procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve repairs or replacements, and other heart surgeries.
- Post-Surgery Care: Follow-up care and rehabilitation to ensure recovery and optimal heart health.

Angiogram & Angioplasty
Angiogram: An imaging test that uses X-rays and a contrast dye injected into blood vessels to visualize the heart’s arteries and other blood vessels. It helps diagnose blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities.
Angioplasty: A procedure performed to open narrowed or blocked arteries. A balloon is inflated within the artery to widen it, often accompanied by placing a stent to keep the artery open. Angioplasty improves blood flow and relieves symptoms like chest pain.

Trauma Services
Trauma services deliver urgent care for severe injuries and critical conditions resulting from accidents, falls, or violence. They include:
- Emergency Assessment: Rapid evaluation and stabilization of trauma patients, often involving advanced imaging and diagnostic tests.
- Surgical Intervention: Immediate surgeries to address life-threatening injuries, including repair of internal damage and fracture fixation.
- Critical Care: Intensive monitoring and support in specialized units for severe or complex trauma cases.
- Rehabilitation: Post-trauma care to support recovery, including physical therapy and psychological support.

Cardiac Diagnostic Services
Cardiac diagnostic services are essential for assessing heart health and identifying conditions. They typically include:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG): Records the electrical activity of the heart to detect abnormalities.
- Echocardiogram: Uses ultrasound to visualize heart structure and function.
- Stress Test: Monitors heart performance under physical exertion or medication-induced stress.
- Holter Monitor: A portable device that records heart activity over 24-48 hours to detect irregularities.
- Cardiac MRI/CT: Advanced imaging techniques for detailed views of heart anatomy and function.

Cardiac Surgical Services
Cardiac surgical services provide advanced surgical interventions for heart conditions. These services include:
- Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): A procedure to bypass blocked coronary arteries using grafts to restore blood flow to the heart.
- Heart Valve Surgery: Repair or replacement of damaged heart valves to improve blood flow and heart function.
- Aneurysm Repair: Surgical correction of weakened or enlarged sections of the heart or aorta.
- Arrhythmia Surgery: Procedures to correct abnormal heart rhythms, such as the implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator.

Cardiac ICU
The Cardiac ICU (Intensive Care Unit) provides specialized, around-the-clock care for patients with severe or complex heart conditions. It offers:
- Advanced Monitoring: Continuous observation of heart function using EKGs, telemetry, and other diagnostic tools.
- Critical Care: Management of life-threatening cardiac issues, including severe arrhythmias, heart attacks, and post-surgical care.
- Intensive Interventions: Administration of medications, mechanical support (e.g., ventilators, intra-aortic balloon pumps), and emergency procedures as needed.
- Multidisciplinary Team: Care provided by cardiologists, surgeons, intensivists, and nurses specialized in cardiac care.

Emergency Cardiac Services
Emergency cardiac services provide immediate care for acute heart conditions. They typically include:
- Acute Intervention: Rapid treatment for heart attacks, severe arrhythmias, and other critical conditions.
- Advanced Monitoring: Use of EKGs, cardiac enzymes, and imaging to assess heart function and damage.
- Emergency Procedures: Administration of medications (e.g., thrombolytics), angioplasty, and stenting as needed.
- Stabilization and Transfer: Immediate stabilization of the patient and, if necessary, transfer to specialized care units or facilities.

Pediatric Cardiac Services
Pediatric cardiac services focus on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. They include:
- Diagnostic Testing: Advanced imaging (e.g., echocardiograms, MRI), EKGs, and stress tests to assess heart function and structure.
- Medical Management: Treatment of congenital and acquired heart conditions with medications and lifestyle modifications.
- Surgical Interventions: Procedures such as congenital heart defect repairs, valve replacements, and catheter-based treatments.
- Follow-Up Care: Ongoing monitoring and support to manage heart health and ensure proper growth and development.

Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to improve heart health after a cardiac event or surgery. It typically includes:
- Exercise Training: Structured physical activity to strengthen the heart and improve fitness.
- Education: Information on managing heart disease, including lifestyle changes, diet, and medication adherence.
- Counseling: Support for mental well-being, stress management, and coping strategies.
- Risk Factor Management: Personalized plans to address risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking.
