CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE
CARDIOLOGY
- Cardiology
Interventional Cardiology
Our interventional cardiologits strongly believe in primary
interventions on an acute heart attack with medicated stent for all
victims. They have vast experience in treating the victims of heart
attack. We also conduct post-doctor courses in Cardiology,
Interventional Cardiology & Paediatric Cardiology in association with
National Board of Examinations, Delhi.
Electrophysiology
Our team is one of the most experienced in the field of electro
physiology of the heart which treats rhythm disturbances of the heart
commonly called as 'palpitation'. Their special interest is AICD
implantation for serious rhythm disturbances of the heart and
bi-ventricular pacing for terminal heart failure. We conducts training
programs for young cardiologists in the field of electro physiology.
Endovascular Interventions
More and more aneurysms of the aorta are getting amendable from
endovascular stent grafting rather than a major surgery. Our team is
one of the most experienced in the field of treating complex aneurysm
of the aorta with endovascular stent grafting. Narayana Hrudayalaya in
association with various hospitals conducts joint discussions via
telemedicine for individual patient management.
Pediatric Cardiology & Interventions
Narayana Hrudayalaya has a very well rounded, well trained and
active Pediatric Cardiac team. Our Pediatric Cardiologists are adept
at complex echocardiograms as well as non surgical interventions in
the catherterization lab such as ASD, PDA and VSD closures. It is
their good clinical acumen and outstanding echo and cath lab skills
that have helped build us into a world class referral center for
children with heart disease.
- Cardiac Surgery
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) & Redo Coronary Artery
Bypass Grafting
Indians are genetically three times more susceptible than Europeans to
have an attack on the heart. In India, usually the breadwinner of the
family is the victim of attack. At Narayana Hrudayalaya 60% of the
surgeries carried out are, coronary artery bypass grafting and redo
coronary artery by pass grafting.
Having carried out over 13,000 coronary bypass grafting and redo
coronary artery bypass grafting operations, the team of experts at
Narayana Hrudyalaya are one of the most experienced in the world when
it comes down to performing CABG, redo CABG's and mainly coronary
artery bypass grafting without heart lung machine. The team of our
cardiac surgeons also have a special interest in complete arterial
graft using internal mammary artery and radial arteries.
DOR's Procedure (Left Ventricular Volume Reduction Operation) and
Carotid Enderactectomies :
The team of cardiac surgeons at Narayana Hrudayalaya strongly believe
that terminal heart failure, mainly due to ischaemic cardiomyopathy,
can be corrected by our favourite technic called DOR's Procedure with
coronary artery bypass grafting operation. With over 200 Dor's
procedures to the team's credit, our team is one of the most
experienced in the world in this rare procedure. We also conduct a
large series of carotid enderactectomies to improve the blood supply
to the brain with bypass grafting operation.
Blue Babies :
India produces the largest number of children in the world. So, going
by the incidence of congenital heart disease we produce the largest
number of children with heart diseases in the world (approximately 3
lakh children every year). Our team of paediatric cardiac surgeons is
one of the most experienced in the world in terms of specializing in
operating on children, especially children suffering from this complex
heart problem.
Transposition of Great arteries
Heart Surgeries on New Born Babies: Narayana Hrudayalaya gets
referrals from 21 countries for surgeries in complex heart diseases
especially in newborn babies who are barely few hours old. Our team of
neonatal cardiac surgeons are perhaps few in the world who routinely
performs switches and double switches for complex heart problem called
Transposition of Great Arteries in newborn babies.
The Ross Procedure
The Ross Procedure, also known as Pulmonary valve translocation,
was developed by Donald Ross in 1967.This operation uses the patients
own pulmonary valve and part of the main pulmonary artery as a unit to
replace the aortic valve and ascending aorta. A homograft valve is
harvested from a cadaver, is then placed in the pulmonary position.
The pulmonary valve is identical in shape, size, and in fact stronger
than the aortic valve and is therefore an ideal replacement for the
diseased aortic valve. Narayana Hrudayalaya has a full fledge
functioning homograft heart valve bank for the benefit of the needy
patients. The surgeons of the Narayana Hrudayalaya have a large
experience in successful valve replacements using homografts and Ross
operations. These operations are being done only in very few centers
in our country. Surgeons at Narayana Hrudayalaya have performed about
100 of this procedures with excellent results. They are perhaps one of
the most experienced surgeons in the World in performing operations
like Bental Procedure for Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Arch replacement
surgery for dissecting Aneurysm of Aorta.
- Paediatric Cardiology
- Critical Cardiac Surgeries
Narayana Hrudayalaya is located close to the Electronics City of
Bangalore covering 26 acres of land with a building to accommodate
1000 beds, 26 operation theaters, infrastructures to perform 70 heart
surgeries a day. Within the first 5 years of commissioning this
institution, currently 25 heart surgeries are done on a daily basis,
out of them about 30% are on children with heart problem. Rest of them
is adult open-heart surgeries.
Institution is attracting patients from 22 countries primarily because
of its expertise in the area of complex heart problems. To enumerate
them;
Pulmonary Thrombo Endarterectomy for pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a dreadful conditions and its advanced stage
only
Treatment for this is a lung transplant, which carries extremely high
risk
And poor prognosis. Narayana Hrudayalaya is one of the very few
centers in the World today performing Pulmonary thrombo
endarcterectomy (PTE) for pulmonary embolism (PE).
Aneurysms of the Aorta
Surgery for Aneurysms of the Aorta including Aortic Arch Replacement
and Replacement of Total Thoraco Abdominal Aorta with Re-implantation
of Visceral
Arteries.
Aneurysms are fairly common problem, which are fatal if not treated.
Narayana Hrudayalaya does large number of aneurysm surgeries on a
regular basis.
Dor’s procedure
Remodeling Procedures (Dor’s procedure) for Left Ventricular
Aneurysms:
Terminal Heart Failure is a common problem affecting most of the
ischaemic
heart patients. Left ventricular remodeling procedure called Dor's
procedure
has a really transformed the lives of these patients and over 200 of
these
Procedures are done at Narayana Hrudayalaya.
Double Switches Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries
This is a rare heart problem, which can be corrected by performing
complex
Procedure called Double Switch to re-route blood through the heart.
Pulmonary Atresia
Pulmonary Atresia is a condition in which blue babies are born
with absent
Main pulmonary arteries. Narayana Hrudayalaya is one of the few
institutions
in the world where unifocalisation procedures are done to treat this
dreadful problem.
One Stage Operation for Swiss Cheese VSDs
Traditionally Swiss Cheese VSDs in which there are multiple holes in
the heart are corrected in two stages. However, Narayana Hrudayalaya
has performed over over 200 operations on children with Swiss Cheese
VSDs in one stage by closing all the holes in the heart.
Mitral Valve Repair in New Born Babies and Infants
Mitral Valve leakage is a dreadful condition affecting small
percentage of children suffering from congenital heart disease. Only
option for these children is repair of the valve, which is done on a
regular basis at Narayana Hrudayalaya.
Ross's Procedure for Aortic Stenosis
Best treatment option for Aortic Stensosis is Ross's Procedure in
which the patient's own pulmonary valve is used to replace the aortic
valve and in the place of pulmonary valve a homograft taken from a
dead body is replaced.
Coronary Artery Neo-Roofing Procedure
There are thousands of patients especially Diabetics, who develop
diffuse coronary artery disease, which cannot be grafted surgically.
For these patients, Narayana Hrudayalaya perform an innovative
procedure called Neo-roofing.
- Cardial Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation services are designed to help patients with
heart disease recover faster and return to full and productive lives.
Cardiac rehabilitation includes exercise, diet pattern, education,
counseling and support, and learning new ways to live a healthier
life.
You can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation if:
• You have heart disease, such as angina or heart failure, or have had
a
heart attack.
• You have a chronic heart problem.
• You had coronary artery bypass surgery or a valve replacement.
• You have an implanted defibrillator
• You have had a balloon catheter (angioplasty), a stent, or other
cardiac
procedure
You can also benefit from cardiac rehabilitation if you are at risk of
heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation can make a difference. It is a
safe and effective way to help you:
• Feel better faster, emotionally and physically.
• Get stronger

activities
• Reduce the risk of further heart problems
• Enjoy life more
Almost everyone with heart problems can benefit from some kind of
cardiac rehabilitation. No one is too old or too young. Women can
benefit from cardiac rehabilitation as much as men. When you have
heart disease, breaking old habits and learning new ones can be
difficult. Wondering about your future health can be worrying too. The
support of family and friends, as well as health care providers, can
make a big difference to how well you adjust to these changes. Share
this information with others so they will learn about cardiac
rehabilitation and how they can help you.
Rehabilitation Team:
Cardiac rehabilitation services can involve many people. Your team may
be made up of one or more of the following people:
• Doctor (a heart specialist)
• Exercise specialist/physiotherapist
• Dietician
• Psychologist
• Yoga/Meditation teacher
• Your family
The most important member of your cardiac rehabilitation team is you.
No one else can make you exercise, or quit smoking, or eat a more
healthy diet.
