Cardiology Department: Comprehensive Cardiac Care

Welcome to the Best Cardiology Unit (Heart Care In Jammu ) at our Hospital where we offer a comprehensive suite of advanced cardiovascular diagnostic and monitoring services.

Our commitment to excellence in cardiac care is reflected in our state-of-the-art technology, highly skilled professionals, and patient-centered approach.

We understand the critical importance of accurate diagnosis and effective management of heart conditions, and our services are designed to provide precise, timely, and personalized care.

1. Treadmill Testing (TMT)

Our Treadmill Test (TMT), also known as Exercise Stress Testing, is a cornerstone of cardiac diagnostic evaluation.

This test is designed to assess the heart's response to physical exertion, providing valuable insights into cardiovascular health.

During the TMT, patients walk on a treadmill with gradually increasing intensity while their heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are continuously monitored. This comprehensive evaluation helps us to:

Diagnose Ischemic Heart Disease: By detecting changes in the ECG that indicate reduced blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium), which could signify coronary artery

Evaluate Cardiac Function: Assess how well the heart performs under stress, which is crucial for identifying exercise-induced symptoms such as angina.

Determine Functional Capacity: Measure the heart's ability to handle physical activity, which assists in creating individualized exercise recommendations and treatment plans.

Echocardiography (ECHO)

Echocardiography, or ECHO, is a pivotal imaging technique in our cardiology department. Using high-frequency sound waves, ECHO provides detailed visualizations of the heart's structures and functions, enabling us to:

Visualize Heart Structures: Obtain clear images of the heart's chambers, valves, and major blood vessels, which are essential for diagnosing conditions like valvular heart disease or congenital heart defects.

Assess Cardiac Function: Evaluate the heart's pumping efficiency and the motion of the heart muscle, helping us diagnose conditions such as cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and myocardial infarction.

• Guide Treatment Decisions: Use real-time imaging to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing treatments and make informed decisions regarding surgical or medical interventions.

3. Holter Monitoring .

Holter Monitoring Holter Monitoring is an advanced form of ambulatory electrocardiography that allows for continuous, long-term recording of the heart's electrical activity.

This non-invasive test involves wearing a portable ECG device for 24 to 48 hours, providing a comprehensive assessment of heart rhythm and function. Holter Monitoring is essential for:

Detecting Arrhythmias: Identifying irregular heartbeats or transient arrhythmias that may not be captured during a standard ECG or TMT.

Advance Technology

We combine advanced technology with compassionate care to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.
