The Right
Diagnosis |
|
In order for a patient to receive the very best health care, the
correct diagnosis needs to be made right from the start. The
diagnostic services offered at SPS Apollo Hospitals are the most
up-to-date cardiovascular tests. These tests enable the
health-care team to assess the health of your heart and blood
vessels using the most accurate tools available.
The Hospital performs nearly all diagnostic tests on an
outpatient basis, so you can come in for your tests and return
to the comfort of your home the same day. Patients with acute
conditions and those who require an invasive procedure (such as
angiography) are cared for at the Hospital.
We provide the following diagnostic tests on an outpatient
basis:
|
 |
|
Blood Lab |
|
Chemical analyses of body fluids (blood and
urine) are conducted to examine these fluids for blood cell
counts, levels of components such as sodium, calcium, potassium,
and proteins, blood lipids (such as cholesterol, lipoproteins,
and triglycerides), and blood sugar. Available tests include:
-
-
Urinalysis
- Complete blood count
- Electrolyte studies
- Automated chemistry profile (ACP) |
 |
|
Electrocardiography (ECG) |
|
Electrocardiography is a test which examines the electrical
activity of your heart and can provide information on the way
your heart beats as a means of diagnosing some heart problems,
such as heart rhythm abnormalities.
The following electrocardiography studies are available:
- ECG
- Treadmill Stress Test (TMT)
- Holter monitoring/scanning
- Event monitoring

Cardiology |

Angiography:
The insertion of a catheter into your heart used along with
X-rays and a special dye to visualize the internal anatomy of
your heart and blood vessels. Angiography is most frequently
used to determine the presence of blocked or narrowed arteries.
This test is performed at the Hospital.

 |
|
Noncardiac Studies |
|
(liver/spleen/brain/bone/kidney/lung/gallbladder)
- Peripheral vascular and ankle/arm indices: examination of the
blood flow in your arms and legs.
- Upper extremity Doppler: the use of Doppler ultrasound to
examine blood flow in your arms.
- Blood flow studies
- for tissue perfusion: the assessment of blood flow in
tissues of the legs.

|
Ultrasound |
|
Ultrasound is an imaging technique that relies on sound waves to
produces pictures of internal anatomy and function. In
cardiovascular studies, echocardiography is a test that employs
sound waves to study the structure and motion of the heart and
blood vessels. It is especially useful for assessing the
function of the heart valves.
The following ultrasound-based tests are available at SPS
Apollo Hospitals:
- 2D Colour Doppler Echocardiography machines with
Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography.
- Stress Echocardiography.
- Peripheral Vascular Doppler Studies.

Adult
Congenital Heart Surgery : |
|
Heart disease in children is
generally caused by heart problems that are
present at birth. Because children's heart
diseases are very different than the diseases
adults suffer, adult patients who are living
with congenital heart defects or who underwent
heart surgery as a child need a pediatric
cardiothoracic surgeon who understands the
progression of these diseases from infancy to
adulthood.
Adults with congenital heart disease
range from patients who have been diagnosed for
the first time as adults, adults who are aware
of their condition and are seeking follow-up
care, and adults who had corrective surgery as
children and might need additional procedures
because they've outgrown the repairs they
received as children.
Our Surgeons treat adults suffering from the
entire range of congenital heart problems,
including:
-
Valve disease
-
All congenital heart defects
-
Adults who've had pediatric heart surgery as
a child
Our Surgeons and their team
are qualified to understand the special needs
of adult patients who are living with the
lifelong effects of congenital heart defects |
