CABG (Bypass) Surgery in Faridabad

To undergo CABG surgery, blockages in cardiac blood vessels have to be confirmed. Following are some of the diagnostic tests mentioned that help to evaluate condition of heart prior to the surgical procedure:

• Stress test - Stress test entails patient to walk on treadmill in order to analyze heart rate. Heart rate can be trapped at the same time with the help of technology called as positron emission tomography (PET) scanning of the heart and nuclear heart scanning. Thus, presence of blockages can be confirmed through this procedure.
• EKG (Electrocardiogram) - An electrocardiogram is able to trace heart beat rhythms and assess functionality through electrodes attached to the body. These electrodes are connected to an ECG machine which help cardiologist interpret extent of damage caused to cardiac muscles after a heart attack.
• Echocardiography - To diagnose amount of blood flow inside cardiac blood vessels, echocardiography technology is harnessed. Poor blood flow indicates probability of possible blockages; thereby weakening functioning of heart. Echocardiography can be divided into two types- 2D echo and stress echo.
• Coronary angiography - X-ray images of anatomical structure of heart are captured from various angles when a contrast dye is injected into the body. These images help cardiologist to evaluate functioning of heart by understanding flow of dye in the body.

The above mentioned diagnostic tests help doctor to evaluate condition of heart and check probability of performing CABG surgery. Weak functioning of heart increases chances of heart attack. Unhealthy lifestyle and lack of exercise are the two primary reasons why there is increase in population suffering from cardiac disorders.
