Coronary Artery Disease: (CAD)
Coronary Artery Diseases is a condition if heart where arteries supplying blood to the muscles of heart are blocked which result into chest pain (Angina Pectoris) heart attack & sudden death.
These blockages which are deposits of excess fat are silently developing from teenage. When a person gets symptoms of chest pain the blockages have already exceed 70-80%. |
|
Heart attack is a terminal event of the entire disease process with a high mortality rate of more than 50% if not treated in adequate time. Surgical procedure likes by-pass & Angioplasty provides temporary solution on the treatment of CAD, as recurrences are quite common.
25-30% of people have underlying disease of which Heart attack is the symptom, hence Cartography becomes an important test for the early detection of disease & preventing a major heart attack & premature death. |

Cardiovascular Cartography |
 Is a non-invasive painless test performed to assess the function and efficiency of heart and reliably detect the severity of coronary artery disease as its early stage. The 20-30 minute test generates meticulous information that was never possible through any of existing diagnosis tools.
Cartography is helpful in planning treatments for advanced cases of CAD & its equally important for 30 plus age group to trace the initial development of CAD and start reversal therapy accordingly.

Information obtained by Cartography
|
Cardiac output, left ventricle, ejection, fraction, cardiac contractility arterial blood pressure, systematic vascular resistance, blood clotting tendency, Abnormal heart beats, global and regional blood flow to heart, myocardial oxygen demand / supply / reverse.
Primary Prevention |
- Applicable to normal individual to evaluate functional status of their heart.
- Screening procedure for CAD
- Master health check for those who are more than 30 years of age
- All sports person Athletes, Fitness experts & Physical instructors.
|
| |
| Secondary Prevention |
- For high risk group who are prone for CAD for early detection
- Family history of CAD before 60 year
- Stressful and sedentary life specially busy executives, corporates, businessman & professionals.
- Hypertension / Diabetes mellitus / obesity
- High lipid profile
- Smoker / Tobacco chewers / Gutka
- Assessment of cardiac efficiency (Pre-operative check-up for non-cardiac surgery)
|
| |
Tertiary Prevention
For CAD patients in their monitoring and medical management for their rehabilitation and disability limitation.
|
| |
- For confirmation of coronary artery disease.
- Before or after angiography to determine circulatory status of the heart and evaluate the need and effectiveness of surgical procedures.
- All patients having angina to assess their blood supply to heart, to know deficient areas.
- Follow-up benefits of patients who have undergone bypass / angioplasty and for early detection of reoccurrence of blockages.
- After heart attack for cardiac rehabilitation.
- To monitor and evaluate reversing of heart diseases through medicines and lifestyle management.
- Identification of progress to arrhythmogenicity (abnormal heart beats).
