Frequently Asked Question?
Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary angioplasty is a complex procedure.requiring a lot of skill and hardware support. Usually, angioplasty with a single stent in Pune costs somewhere between 1.5 lakh to 3 lakh INR, depending on the center at which it is performed and the complexity of the procedure.
Hospitals usually include 1 day ICU stay and 1 day ward stay charge the same amount.
Hospitals usually include 1 day ICU stay and 1 day ward stay charge the same amount.
- Cost of Stents: The cost of stents has been capped by the government of India at INR 41,000/- approximately for drug eluting stents, which are available in the market and can range from INR 10,000 to INR 41,000.
Coronary Angioplasty is a relatively safe procedure if performed at a center where
these procedures are done routinely and by an experienced operator.
Known theoretical complications with an angioplasty procedure are bleeding from the access site, a heart attack during the procedure of an angioplasty, new blockages getting developed inside the stent and allergic reactions to the medications used during the angioplasty procedure.

Depending on the complexity of the procedure, angioplasty usually takes from either
20 minutes to 2 hours. Time is usually variable and again depends on the degree of
complexity of the lesion and the experience of the operator and team performing the
angioplasty.

Time is usually variable and again depends on the degree of complexity of the lesion and the experience of the operator and team performing the angioplasty.
Usually after an angioplasty, it is recommended by the cardiologist to keep the
patient in the hospital for 24 hours inside the ICU. After that, patients are either discharged the next day or can be observed one more day in a private ward and can be discharged subsequently.
In case the angioplasty is done after a heart attack, it is suggested to rest for atleast a month till the normal routine can be resumed.
In case an angioplasty is done after an asymptomatic significant blockage is treated, rest is advised for 1 week after which routine activities can be resumed.

In case an angioplasty is done after an asymptomatic significant blockage is treated, rest is advised for 1 week after which routine activities can be resumed.
Coronary Angioplasty is a bail out procedure where-in blockages in the blood vessels of the heart are cleared with stents placed in these blood vessels.
Once the blockages are cleared by placing a stent, the chances for reappearance of a blockage is quiet slim as long as as medications are consumed regularly and a control over the risk factors like Blood Pressure, Sugars and Cholesterol is kept.
So in a way, a coronary angioplasty can be considered as a permanent cure to these blockages. A small risk of restenosis, however is always present.

A patient undergoing a coronary angioplasty is admitted under the care of a doctor in a hospital. It is required to keep the patient fasting for atleast 4 hours prior to the
procedure.
Patients are advised to remain hydrated before, during and after procedure to avoid kidney related complications.

Coronary Angiography
The approximate cost of coronary angiography in Pune varies from Rs 4,000 to Rs
15,000, it depends on the centre and on the operator as well.
Coronary Angiography is a diagnostic test to know the anatomy of the blood vessels
of the heart.
Coronary Angioplasty is a treatment given to the blockages of the heart in the form of placing stents in the blood vessels.

Coronary Angiography is usually a day care procedure and patients are discharged
4-6 hours after an angiography is done.
Coronary Angiography if done in the right way is a painless procedure.
Patients are usually required to fast for 4 hours before an angiography is done. Apart
from that patients are expected to keep their hydration well before, during and after the
procedure.
Coronary Angiography is usually a painless procedure and has only theoretical risks
in the form of allergic reaction to the contrast agent, a risk of injury to the kidney if
contrast dose is high and a small risk of bleeding from the angiography site.
Cardiac arrhythmia
A change in the rhythm of the heart is called as an arrythmia. Most common symptoms associated with cardiac arrythmias are palpitations, that is, an uncomfortable sensation of ones own heart beat or a fluttering sensation in the heart.
Some patients with arrythmias can also have episodes of giddiness and spells of unconsciousness.
Some patients with arrythmias can also have episodes of giddiness and spells of unconsciousness.
Most of the Cardiac arrythmias can be diagnosed on the basis of an ECG. If the ECG
is not sufficient as the episodes are not frequent, then a continuous ECG recording
called as Holter monitor can also diagnose cardiac arrythmia.
is not sufficient as the episodes are not frequent, then a continuous ECG recording
called as Holter monitor can also diagnose cardiac arrythmia.
There are a variety of causes for cardiac arrythmias, most common of them are
hypertension, abnormalities in thyroid function, aging, valvular or structural
abnormalities in the heart, hostory of heart attacks, a decrease in the pumping
capacity of the heart.
Cardiac arrythmias can be managed with medications and if needed, patients may need a procedure called as Electro-Physiological Studies or some arrythmias may require an Implantable Cardio-Verter Defibrillator (ICD) or a pacemaker.
Pacemaker Implantation
Approximate cost of the pacemaker depends on the type and company from which the pacemaker is being procured.
The total cost of the entire procedure along with the hospital stay can range from 1.5 Lakh to 5 Lakh Rupees.

minimal risks. A theoretical risk of infection at the pacemaker site is always present.
A pacemaker is a device which has an in-built battery in it which usually lasts for 10-15 years depending on the requirement and battery usage by the device.
The residual battery life can be measured by a device outside which communicates wirelessly with the implanted device.

Usually no restriction is advised after an implantation of a pacemaker. Now-a-days pacemakers are MRI friendly so a patient with a pacemaker can undergo an MRI also safely.
Congenital Heart Disease
Certain defects in the anatomy of the heart present since childhood can be diagnosed and managed conservatively as well.
Most of the times however, an Interventional procedure might be required if the defect compromises the pumping capacity of the heart.
Most of the times however, an Interventional procedure might be required if the defect compromises the pumping capacity of the heart.
Depending on the type of congenital defect, a minimally invasive procedure like device implantation can be done. In severe cases, an open heart surgery may also be needed.
An echocardiogram done immediately after birth can diagnose all congenital heart defects.
Certain cardiac defects of the baby can also be diagnosed in the mothers womb aas well with help of foetal echo.

Hypertension Management
Once an adequate blood pressure control has been achieved, a weekly
measurement of blood pressure is more than sufficient.
measurement of blood pressure is more than sufficient.
A variety of medications are available for optimal control of blood pressure, out of which most commonly prescribed are ACE Inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockaders, Calcium Channel Blockers, Beta Blockers and Diuretics.
You should seek a cardiologist consultation if you are consuming more than 3 medications for BP control.

A healthy lifestyle to decrease blood pressure includes limiting common salt intake to
less than 5 grams/day (An easy measure to limit salt intake is to avoid consuming
table salt in excess of what has already been used while cooking), exercising for
atleast 45 minutes 5 days a week, reduction in body weight to maintain an ideal BMI and consumption of medications regularly without missing them.
