MitraClip is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs a leaking mitral valve — the valve between the two left chambers of the heart

If your cardiologist has found a borderline coronary artery blockage on your angiogram

Cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating

congenital heart disease (ACHD) — many of whom require ongoing cardiology care,

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is atherosclerosis affecting the arteries of the legs

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening condition occurring when a blood clot

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in one of the deep veins

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection of the inner lining of the heart

Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium — the tough fibrous sac that surrounds and protects the heart.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle itself

Angina pectoris is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) — Causes, Risks and Treatment in Hyderabad

A type of irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure.

A condition where the mitral valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

A condition where the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward into the left atrium.

A condition where the aortic valve becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta.

A surgical procedure to replace a diseased or damaged heart with a healthy one from a donor.

A condition where the blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries is higher than normal, making it harder for the heart to pump blood.

A condition where the blood pressure in the arteries is higher than normal, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

A congenital heart defect where the aortic valve has only two cusps instead of the normal three, affecting blood flow.

A condition where the aorta becomes enlarged or ballooned, increasing the risk of rupture or dissection.

A condition where the mitral valve leaflets bulge into the left atrium, affecting blood flow and potentially causing symptoms.

A rare condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened during the last month of pregnancy or within five months after giving birth.

A condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened due to physical or emotional stress, leading to symptoms similar to a heart attack.

A condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened and enlarged, leading to reduced heart function and symptoms.

A condition where granulomas form in the heart tissue, leading to inflammation and scarring, and potentially affecting heart function.

A rare genetic disorder characterized by extremely high levels of triglycerides in the blood, increasing the risk of pancreatitis and cardiovascular disease.

A blockage of an artery in the lungs, typically caused by a blood clot, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
