Super Specialities - Cardiology
The full fledged department of cardiology at Mediciti Hospitals has an expert team of full time and visiting consultants , well complemented with the state of the art facilities. It is a one stop center for excellence with multi disciplinary interaction under one roof . The department is well known for providing quality hi tech care over a period of more than a decade .

Cardiology department has six full time consultants and three visiting consultants . Mediciti is recognized for DNB cardiology training . Every year we take two DNB residents for 3Yrs training. Mediciti cardiology is proud to announce that, till now 4 candidates have passed DNB cardiology examination. Mediciti has two cathlabs and we have done about 25,000 cath procedures since 1994. We have state of art Electrophysiology Lab and Radiofrequency ablation facilities for the evaluation and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Noninvasive lab has two 2-D Echo machines with colour Doppler facility and facilities for 24hr Holter , TMT and upright tilt table test .

We have a 15 – bedded well-equipped ICCU for the treatment sick cardiac patients . There are 5 IABP machines to be used for patients who are hemodynamically unstable. Patients are monitored round the clock by trained cardiologist, anesthetist, pulmonologist, Internist, and CT surgeon.

We have expertise to do difficult cardiac interventional procedures like primary PTCA / Stenting , in patients with acute myocardial infarction , implantation of DDD pacemakers, heart Heart failure devices and AICDs, Carotid artery stenting , Device closure of PDAs and ASDs and Electrophysiology and Radiofrequency ablation.

At present , all the cardiac interventional procedures and CT surgeries are being done at CITI CENTRE, opposite secretariat , Hyderabad .

Facilities : -

· A 15 bedded well equipped Cardiac intensive care unit which caters to the needs of all cardiac patients round the clock .
· No. of procedures / surgeries highest in the twin cities with 98% success rate
· A teaching programme is conducted regularly which helps in updating of treatment methodology
· It’s the 1st private sector hospital to do catheterization and bypass surgery for more than a decade
· We have a combination of academidicians and interventionists and well known consultants from different groups
· Fully digital Catheterization laboratory providing facilities round the clock for primary angioplasty , IABP , and   emergency pacing.

· Cardiac interventions – Radial procedures ( route ) more frequently is our USP .
· 3D – Echo cardiography Machines with colour tissue Doppler imaging facility.
· Dobutamine Stress test
· TEE – Transoesophagial Echo-Cardiograph
· TMT
· Holter monitoring
· IABP
· Carotid, Peripheral & Renal interventions are done and septal defects in both children and adults are treated successfully .
· Cath Lab is open 24 hours with doctors , Technicians and Nurses ‘ Availability
· Organising international conference every year .

Department of Cardiology , Mediciti Hospitals , Hyderabad has acquired a new state of art & 3D Echocardiography   machine. ( Sonos 7500 ) . Very few hospitals , in Hyderabad have such a sophisticated Echo machine . It has advanced   features like , Frequency Imaging , Harmonic Imaging , Tissue Doppler Imaging , Ecostic quantification Color kinesis , 3D   imaging Biplane Imaging and Acoustic Densitometry. There features would enhance the quality of image as well as help   in differenting ischemic from non ischemic exact myocardium . It is highly useful is delineating exact valve morphology in   patients with Valvular heart disease .

3D ECHO MACHINE

The 3D ECHO machine newly installed in the cardiology Department has certain advanced features like :

Frequency Imaging : Ultrasonic transducer frequencies that are used to generate 2D images automatically ( depending on settings ) , thus allowing the sonographer to select useful frequency range with single transducer.

Harmonic Imaging : Provides improved visualization of the endocardial ( heart muscle layer ) border, particularly with patients who are difficult to image .

Tissue Doppler Imaging ( TDI ) :
TDI enhances image by translating tissue movement information and vascular blood flow velocities into color. This is helpful to visualize the movements of heart Valves , heart muscles , also the movement of blood in the heart and other blood vessels.

Ecostic Quantification : This technology automatically distinguishes between tissue and blood in an ultrasound image. It then uses this distinction to superimpose borders at the intersection of blood and tissue , which will be helpful for measuring blood area and blood volume changes .

Color Kinesis ( CK ) : This technology uses frame to frame position information to overlay colors on the moving images. The colors, as they change during cardia cycle, facilitate visual review of the timing and displacement of endocardial borders.

3D Imaging : It is possible to visualize relative , anatomical and functional details of heart in 3 dimensions, 3D imaging is also supplemented by 3 D color and 3 D Zoom .

Biplane Image : Biplane imaging allows for simultaneous side by side viewing of two separate live 2 D images this is useful to see Cardiac function from simultaneous live image planes.

Acoustic Densito Metry ( AD ) : It is a tool for Quantification of brightness and velocity in ultrasound images. AD Package lets the sonographer to perform measurements on selected region of an Ultrasound image .
