Overview
The Department of Cardiac Sciences at Saifee Hospital provides comprehensive care for heart and vascular conditions, from prevention and diagnosis to advanced treatment, surgery and rehabilitation.
Our multidisciplinary team includes cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anaesthesiologists, intensivists and rehabilitation specialists. Supported by advanced diagnostic and treatment facilities, the department delivers personalised care for both routine and complex cardiac conditions.
Our Cardiac Care Services
We offer preventive, medical, interventional and surgical care to support heart health at every stage.
Preventive Cardiology
Early identification and management of risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking and family history can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Our specialists assess individual risk factors and develop personalised plans to support long-term heart health.
Conditions We Treat
Our department provides care for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Coronary artery disease and heart attacks
- Heart failure and cardiomyopathy
- Heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation
- Heart valve disease
- Congenital heart conditions in adults and children
- Peripheral artery disease
- High blood pressure and cholesterol disorders
- Small-vessel and microvascular heart disease
Our Cardiac Care Services
Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective cardiac treatment. Saifee Hospital offers a range of diagnostic services to evaluate heart structure, function and rhythm.
These include:
- Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE): An ultrasound examination that assesses the heart's structure and function.
- Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE): Provides detailed images of the heart using an ultrasound probe passed into the oesophagus.
- Stress Echocardiography: Evaluates how the heart functions during physical or medication-induced stress.
- Holter Monitoring: Records the heart's electrical activity over an extended period to help detect rhythm abnormalities.
- Cardiac CT Imaging: Provides detailed images of the heart and blood vessels using non-invasive imaging techniques.
These investigations help specialists identify cardiac conditions and recommend appropriate treatment.
Our department provides care for a wide range of conditions, including:
Cardiac Procedures and Treatments
Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty
Coronary angiography helps identify narrowed or blocked arteries, while angioplasty and stenting may be performed to restore blood flow to the heart.
Advanced techniques, including rotablation and specialised stenting, may be used for complex cases. Emergency cardiac intervention services are available 24/7.
Heart Valve Treatments
The department provides surgical and minimally invasive treatments for heart valve disease, including valve repair, replacement and balloon valvuloplasty.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation or Replacement (TAVI/TAVR) may be considered for selected patients, including those who may not be suitable for conventional open-heart surgery.
Heart Rhythm Management
Our specialists evaluate and treat heart rhythm disorders through procedures such as:
- Electrophysiology studies
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Pacemaker implantation
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
- Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT)
Vascular Interventions
Stenting procedures may be performed to treat blockages in the carotid, renal and peripheral arteries, depending on the patient's condition.
Paediatric Cardiac Interventions
Selected congenital heart defects, including Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), may be treated using minimally invasive catheter-based procedures.
These treatments may help suitable patients avoid open-heart surgery.
Cardiac Surgery
Our cardiac surgery team performs procedures for coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, congenital heart conditions and other complex cardiac conditions.
Minimally invasive surgical approaches may be considered for suitable patients.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation supports recovery following a heart attack, cardiac procedure or surgery.
The programme may include supervised physical activity, nutritional guidance, lifestyle counselling, risk-factor management and emotional support to help patients recover and maintain long-term heart health.
Paediatric Cardiac Interventions
Minimally invasive closure of congenital defects such as PDA, ASD, and VSD, avoiding the need for open surgery in children.
Echocardiography and Cardiac Imaging
High-resolution echocardiography, transesophageal echo, stress echo, and Holter monitoring for comprehensive cardiac evaluation.
