Cardiology Consultation treatments abroad Cardiology, also known as cardiovascular medicine and a subspecialty of internal medicine, is a medical field that focuses primarily on the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases and disorders that affect the heart. Doctors that specialize in this particular field are known as cardiologists. For patients with heart problems, the initial cardiology consultation and subsequent consultations are essential parts of a medical treatment process. Not

Cardiothoracic Surgery treatments abroad  Cardiothoracic surgery is the field of medicine involved in surgical treatment of organs inside the thorax generally treatment of conditions of the heart (heart disease) and lungs (lung disease). In most countries, cardiac surgery (involving the heart and the great vessels) and general thoracic surgery (involving the lungs, esophagus, thymus, etc.) are separate surgical specialties.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery treatments abroad Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common heart disease conditions and happens when cholesterol and other materials build up in the artery walls, narrowing the artery and reducing the blood supply to the heart. This leads to chest pain and in the worse cases to a stroke, which can damage the patient life quality or have even more serious consequences. One way to treat this condition is to provide the blood a new way

Diastolic Heart Failure Treatment Abroad If you have diastolic heart failure, your left ventricle has become stiffer than normal. Because of that, your heart can't relax the way it should. When it pumps, it can't fill up with blood as it's supposed to. Because there's less blood in the ventricle, less blood is pumped out to your body.

Heart Surgery treatments abroad  The most common type of heart surgery for adults is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). During CABG, a healthy artery or vein from the body is connected, or grafted, to a blocked coronary (heart) artery. The grafted artery or vein bypasses (that is, goes around) the blocked portion of the coronary artery. This creates a new path for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscle. CABG can relieve chest pain and may lower your risk of having a heart att

Heart Tumor Treatment treatments abroad  Cardiac tumors are abnormal growths in the heart or heart valves. There are many types of cardiac tumors. But, cardiac tumors, in general, are rare. The tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Tumors that begin growing in the heart and stay there are called primary tumors. What are the types of cardiac tumors? Primary Tumors Primary tumors affect only 1 in 1,000 to 100,000 people. The most common type of primary cardiac

Heart Valve replacement is a medical procedure to substitute one or more of the heart valves damaged, or affected by a disease. The process is done as an alternative to valve repair. In conditions when valve repair or catheter-based procedures become nonviable, the cardiologist may propose undergoing the valve replacement surgery. During the procedure, your cardio-surgeon detaches the heart valve and restores it with a mechanical one or one made from cow, pig or human heart tissue (biological ti

Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass (MIDCAB) treatments abroad Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery encompasses making slight incisions on the chest. The surgery involves less blood loss, lower risk of infection and smaller scars. The surgery can be done without stopping the heart. Therefore, patient does not need to be put on a heart-lung machine for this procedure. How much does a Minimally Invasive Direct Coronary Artery Bypass procedure cost? The average co

Mitral Valve Repair treatments abroad  Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement are procedures that may be performed to treat diseases of the mitral valve — the valve located between the left heart chambers (left atrium and left ventricle). Types Annuloplasty Valvuloplasty. Why it's done? Mitral valve disease treatment depends on how severe your condition is, if you're experiencing signs and symptoms, and if your condition is getting worse. Your doctor and tre

Pediatric Cardiology treatments abroad  Pediatric Cardiology is a specialty that addresses heart conditions in babies [including unborn babies], children, and teenagers. The scope of pediatric cardiology practice is extensive. Pediatric Cardiologists evaluate and care for fetuses, neonates, infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. Pediatric Cardiology treatment has greatly evolved in the past few years and has helped thousands of children to lead normal lives today. W

Surgery for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Abroad In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the left side of the heart - the part that pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body - is underdeveloped. Its two chambers, called the left atrium and the left ventricle, and their valves may be tiny, blocking the flow of oxygenated blood from the lungs.    

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) treatments abroad Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), which may also be referred to as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is a surgical procedure performed to replace the aortic valve without performing open surgery. It is performed as an alternative to aortic valve replacement surgery, for patients who are unable to endure open surgery due to age or medical conditions which make the surgery too high risk to perform.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Closure treatments abroad  Ventricular septal defect (VSD), also referred to as a hole in the heart, is a congenital heart defect that causes blood to flow from the left to the right ventricle, which makes the heart have to work harder. In the cases whereby the hole is small, it may close by itself and surgery is not usually required. The baby's heart will need to be checked regularly in order to monitor the defect and symptoms while awaiting its cl
