About Cardiology and Heart Surgeons in India

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that focuses on heart-related disorders. It plays a pivotal role in managing conditions such as arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, angina, cardiac arrest, heart failure, heart valve problems, heart abnormalities, etc.

Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons work together to provide comprehensive cardiovascular care. While cardiologists specialize in non-invasive diagnostic procedures, cardiac surgeons perform surgical interventions such as open-heart surgeries, coronary artery bypass surgery, heart valve repairs, etc.

Criteria to Choose the Best Cardiac Surgeon in India

To choose the best cardiac surgeon in India, follow the given points:

Check Credentials and Expertise:

  • Verify the credentials and assess the specific expertise of the specialist under consideration. 
  • Make sure they hold board certification and possess the necessary training and qualifications.

Patient Reviews:

  • To assess a doctor's expertise, consider checking Google reviews from other patients who have received treatment from that doctor.

Waiting Time and Accessibility

  • Check the wait time for an initial doctor's appointment. 
  • Also, confirm the doctor's convenient location for regular follow-up visits.

Evaluate the Hospital: 

  • Consider the hospital where the doctor practices and ensure it provides the necessary resources and technology for diagnosis and treatment.

Schedule Consultation:

  • Once you have identified a potential cardiologist or cardiac surgeon, schedule consultations to discuss treatment approaches and the procedures they perform.

In addition to these, make sure the doctor speaks a language you are comfortable with and check if your insurance will cover the doctor's charges.

What Procedures Do Cardiac Surgeons Perform?

  • Coronary angioplasty and stent implantation - To improve blood flow to the heart
  • Thrombolytic therapy - To dissolve a blood clot that is narrowing or blocking a coronary artery
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): To measure the heart's electrical activity to identify heart attacks
  • Cardiac catheterization - To diagnose and treat heart conditions such as irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), chest pain (angina), heart valve problems, etc.
  • Angioplasty - To open blocked coronary arteries caused by coronary artery disease
  • Pacemaker implantation: Surgically places a device that regulates heart rhythm.

Whether you require preventive measures or diagnostics, the best heart surgeon in india can help you with your treatment journey.

If you are in need of heart surgery, your cardiologist will likely recommend that you consult with a cardiac surgeon. This is because a cardiac surgeon specializes in performing surgical procedures on the heart and its blood vessels. Consulting with a cardiac surgeon will ensure that you receive the most appropriate and specialized care for your condition.

Heart surgeons are involved in operative interventions and minimally invasive procedures. Common procedures performed by the topcardiac surgeonss in India include the following:

  • Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) - To improve blood flow to the heart muscle and reduce angina
  • Valve replacement or repair - To repair or replace damaged heart valves
  • Heart transplantation -  To replace a failing heart with a healthier donor heart
