Cardiac Procedures
Cardiac procedures are medical interventions aimed at diagnosing and treating heart conditions. These can include tests like electrocardiograms (ECGs) to monitor heart activity, and echocardiograms to visualize heart structures. More invasive options, such as angioplasty, involve using a balloon to open blocked arteries, while bypass surgery creates new pathways for blood flow.
These procedures are performed by specialized doctors known as cardiologists or cardiac surgeons. They may be necessary for conditions like coronary artery disease or arrhythmias. The goal is to improve heart function, alleviate symptoms, and reduce the risk of serious complications.
