Vascular Surgery: Restoring Blood Flow and Saving Limbs
Treats blood vessel diseases like carotid stenosis, AAA, and PAD. Uses open surgery and endovascular techniques to restore blood flow and prevent complications like stroke or limb loss.
Cardiac Rhythm Management: Understanding, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Arrhythmias
Focuses on diagnosing and treating arrhythmias. Treatments include medications, ICDs, pacemakers, and catheter ablation. Innovations like leadless pacemakers improve patient outcomes.
Cardiac Transplantation: A Lifesaving Option for End-Stage Heart Failure
Lifesaving for end-stage heart failure. Involves donor heart implantation and lifelong immunosuppression. Requires rigorous patient selection and postoperative care for long-term success.
Cardiac Tumors: Understanding, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
Rare growths in the heart, benign or malignant. Diagnosed via echocardiography or MRI. Treated with surgical resection and, if malignant, chemotherapy or radiation.
Pulmonary Hypertension: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
High blood pressure in lung arteries. Diagnosed via right heart catheterization. Managed with medications, oxygen therapy, and surgery like lung transplantation in severe cases.
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD): Understanding, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
Structural heart defects present at birth. Diagnosed via echocardiography. Treatments include surgical repair, catheter-based interventions, and lifelong monitoring for complications.
Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
Life-threatening conditions requiring urgent care. Diagnosed via CT/MRI. Treatments include open surgery, EVAR, or TEVAR. Blood pressure control is key to prevention.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
Narrowed arteries reduce limb blood flow. Diagnosed via ABI and imaging. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty, and bypass surgery to prevent limb
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment Strategies
Irregular heart rhythm increasing stroke risk. Managed with anticoagulants, rate/rhythm control, and ablation. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent complications.
Valvular Heart Disease: Understanding, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
Affects heart valves, causing stenosis or regurgitation. Diagnosed via echocardiography. Treatments include valve repair/replacement and TAVR. Medical management focuses on symptom relief and preventing complications.
