Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation treatments abroad  An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-powered device placed in your chest to monitor your heart rhythm and detect irregular heartbeats. An ICD can deliver electric shocks via one or more wires connected to your heart to fix an abnormal heart rhythm. Why it's done? You've likely seen TV shows in which hospital workers "shock" an unconscious person out of cardi

Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) Device Implantation treatments abroad CRT is a medically verified therapy choice for persons with heart failure. A CRT equipment directs trivial electrical impulses to both lower chambers of the heart to help them beat together in a more coordinated pattern. This may recover the heart’s ability to propel blood and oxygen to your body. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices help your heart beat more proficiently and monitor your state so y

Some heart disease treatments, such as coronary angioplasty and coronary stenting, also are done using cardiac catheterization. Why it’s done? Locate narrowing or blockages in your blood v

Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty Abroad  Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty is a procedure used to dilate the mitral valve in the setting of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis. A catheter is inserted into the femoral vein, advanced to the right atrium and across the interatrial septum. Then, the mitral valve is crossed with a balloon that is inflated to relieve the fusion of the mitral valve commissures effectively, which acts to increase the mitral valve area and reduce the degree of mitral stenosis
