INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY
Dr. Pradeep Kumar specializes in interventional cardiology, offering advanced procedures that treat heart conditions with minimally invasive techniques. These procedures allow for precise diagnosis and treatment of blockages, valve issues, and rhythm disturbances, often reducing recovery time and improving patient outcomes. His expertise ensures that every procedure is performed with the highest standards of safety and care.
Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure that visualizes the coronary arteries to detect blockages or narrowing. Dr. Pradeep uses this minimally invasive technique to guide treatment decisions, providing crucial information for the management of heart disease and planning interventions when necessary.
Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) & Stent Placement
Coronary angioplasty, often accompanied by stent placement, is a procedure to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. Dr. Pradeep performs these procedures with precision to restore blood flow to the heart, relieve symptoms like chest pain, and reduce the risk of heart attacks.
Primary Angioplasty for Heart Attack
In emergency situations like acute heart attacks, Dr. Pradeep performs primary angioplasty to quickly open the blocked artery and minimize heart muscle damage. This life-saving procedure is executed with speed and expertise to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Balloon Mitral Valvotomy (BMV)
Balloon Mitral Valvotomy is a procedure to treat mitral valve narrowing (stenosis). Dr. Pradeep uses a catheter and balloon technique to expand the valve opening, improving blood flow, relieving symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue, and enhancing heart function without the need for open-heart surgery.
Peripheral Angioplasty
Peripheral angioplasty involves opening narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart, such as in the legs or arms. Dr. Pradeep performs this procedure to improve blood circulation, relieve symptoms like pain or numbness, and prevent complications such as tissue damage.
Pacemaker Implantation (Single & Dual Chamber)
Dr. Pradeep implants pacemakers to manage irregular heart rhythms, ensuring the heart beats at a regular and safe rate. Both single and dual-chamber pacemakers are used depending on the patient’s condition, helping improve energy levels, quality of life, and long-term heart health.
ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) Implantation
ICDs are devices designed to prevent sudden cardiac death in patients at high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Dr. Pradeep implants and programs ICDs to detect dangerous heart rhythms and deliver corrective shocks, providing critical protection for patients with severe heart conditions.
Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to examine the heart chambers, valves, and coronary arteries using a thin, flexible tube (catheter). Dr. Pradeep uses this technique for both diagnosis and treatment, including measuring pressures, taking blood samples, and performing interventional procedures as needed.
