The Heart Center at Regina Maris Hospital is a heart and blood vessel recovery and therapy center with a team of experienced heart and blood vessel specialist doctors and the best equipment and support. Actions and consultations are provided directly by doctors who are professionals in their field, where all actions are handled in an integrated and comprehensive manner.
Cardiac catheterization services (cath lab) are services carried out in the cardiac catheterization & angiography laboratory to determine the diagnosis of heart and blood vessel disease and then carry out non-surgical intervention according to indications invasively through the blood vessels using a catheter or electrode.
External Counter Pulsation (ECP) is a form of non-invasive medical treatment designed to increase blood flow to the heart. It is commonly used in the treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease) and certain types of heart failure. This treatment involves the use of an inflatable cuff or sleeve that is wrapped around the patient's legs (and sometimes buttocks) to create intermittent pressure.
Treadmill examination, or also known as a stress test, is an examination performed to see the performance of the heart during physical activity.
Echocardiogram or echocardiography or cardiac sonography is an examination method that uses high frequency sound waves to capture images of the structure of the heart organ. Echocardiography is usually assisted by Doppler technology which can measure the speed and direction of blood flow.
Ambulatory Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Meter is a tool used to monitor a person's blood pressure for 24 hours.
External Counter Pulsation (ECP) is a non-invasive procedure for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) with refractory angina who are unresponsive or not ideal for conventional revascularization interventions.
An MRI examination is an examination without radiation, but still requires contrast. The contrast used is safe for patients with normal or compromised kidney function, except for patients who have regular dialysis. The heart blood vessel dilation drugs used are contraindicated for people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MRI without radiation and the contrast used is relatively safe, so cardiac MRI examinations are suitable as a method for periodic heart health checks.
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention, or primary angioplasty, is a medical procedure to restore blood flow to the heart by treating blockages or narrowing of the coronary arteries. Primary PCI is performed by stretching the narrowed area of the coronary artery using a balloon attached to a catheter.
A pacemaker is a medical device that can electrically stimulate the heart muscle to contract to produce a heartbeat. Cardiologists place this small, light device in the upper chest via a surgical procedure or through a blood vessel without surgery, depending on the type. The pacemaker maintains the heartbeat according to the program so that the body gets an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients contained in the blood.
The medical procedure of cardiac ablation is a procedure to correct arrhythmia which is carried out by creating scar tissue in the heart to block irregular electrical signals and return the heart to normal beating. Arrhythmia itself is a disturbance in the electrical impulses which have the task of regulating the heartbeat as a result of which the heart beats too fast, slow or irregularly.
