  • Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic risk management
  • Congenital heart disease in adults, pericardial disease, and pulmonary hypertension

Diagnostic Services

  • ECG, 2D/3D transthoracic echocardiography, stress echocardiography, and transesophageal echo
  • Treadmill stress testing and myocardial perfusion imaging (where indicated)
  • Coronary CT angiography and advanced cardiac imaging referrals as clinically appropriate

Interventional Cardiology

  • Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents
  • Physiology- and imaging-guided procedures where indicated (e.g., FFR/iFR, IVUS/OCT)
  • Management of complex coronary disease, left main and bifurcation lesions as appropriate
  • Structural interventions for selected valve and septal disorders based on specialist evaluation

Electrophysiology and Devices

  • Electrophysiology studies and radiofrequency/cryoablation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias
  • Pacemaker, ICD, and CRT implantation with device programming and follow-up clinics
  • Advanced pacing strategies and syncope evaluation pathways for individualized care

Cardiothoracic Surgical Collaboration

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting and valve repair/replacement through partner surgical teams
  • Multidisciplinary heart team reviews to guide surgical versus catheter-based options
  • Prehabilitation and post-operative rehabilitation to support recovery and outcomes

Heart Failure and Prevention

  • Dedicated heart failure pathways for medication optimization, diuretic protocols, and remote monitoring support
  • Risk-factor control programs for blood pressure, lipids, diabetes, weight, sleep, and stress
  • Nutrition counseling, smoking cessation, and supervised exercise plans for long-term cardiovascular health

Emergency Cardiac Care

  • Protocol-driven chest pain pathways for rapid triage, diagnostics, and intervention
  • 24/7 response for acute coronary syndromes and life-threatening arrhythmias with critical care support
  • Safe transfer and continuity of care from emergency to inpatient and rehabilitation settings

The Care Journey

  • First visit: comprehensive assessment, risk profiling, and diagnostic planning with clear next steps
  • Treatment: personalized medical therapy, procedures when indicated, and standardized safety checks
  • Recovery: cardiac rehabilitation, lifestyle coaching, and scheduled follow-ups for sustained progress

Technology and Safety

  • Contemporary cath-lab workflows emphasizing radial access to reduce bleeding risk where appropriate
  • Protocols for anticoagulation, infection control, and device management aligned with best practices
  • Continuous quality audits and multidisciplinary case reviews to maintain high standards of care

Rehabilitation and Lifestyle

  • Phased cardiac rehabilitation tailored to baseline fitness and recovery goals
  • Strength, mobility, and endurance training supervised by cardiac physiotherapy
  • Long-term maintenance plans emphasizing nutrition, sleep, and stress resilience

Preparing for Consultation

  • Bring prior reports: ECGs, echocardiograms, angiography, device cards, and medication lists
  • Expect a clear discussion of diagnosis, options, benefits/risks, costs, and follow-up plan
  • Insurance coordination and preauthorization support available based on policy terms

FAQs

  • Are procedures minimally invasive? Most catheter-based treatments use small access sites and target faster recovery; surgical options are recommended when most effective.
  • How soon is normal activity possible? Return to desk work often occurs within days after diagnostic procedures and within 1–2 weeks after many interventions, depending on individual recovery.
  • Are devices permanent? Pacemakers, ICDs, and CRT devices are implanted long term and require periodic checks and battery replacements as advised.
  • What supports long-term heart health? Consistent medication adherence, risk-factor control, cardiac rehab, and follow-up visits form the foundation of durable outcomes.

Team and Support

  • Interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, cardiac surgeons, imaging specialists, cardiac anesthesiologists, intensivists, physiotherapists, and cardiac nurses
  • Dedicated coordinators for appointments, insurance assistance, rehabilitation enrollment, and device follow-ups
