Cardiology

Comprehensive Cardiology Services at Iranian Hospital

At Iranian Hospital, we are committed to delivering world-class cardiovascular care through cutting-edge technology, a patient-centered approach, and a highly skilled team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. Our department offers advanced diagnostic, interventional, and surgical treatments, ensuring accurate assessments, effective therapies, and comprehensive post-procedure care for all heart-related conditions.

Advanced Heart Diagnostics

We provide a wide range of state-of-the-art diagnostic tests to assess and monitor heart health, including:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG): A 12-lead ECG with expert interpretation that records the heart’s electrical activity to detect abnormalities.
• Exercise Stress Testing (EST): Evaluates the heart’s performance under physical stress to identify potential heart disease.
• Ambulatory ECG Monitoring (Holter Monitoring): Continuously records heart electrical activity over 24-48 hours to detect irregular rhythms.
• Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: Monitors blood pressure fluctuations throughout the day to diagnose hypertension.
• Echocardiography (Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) & Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)): Uses ultrasound to create detailed images of the heart’s structure and function.
• Right and Left Heart Catheterization: Measures heart pressures and evaluates heart function.
• Coronary Angiography: Visualizes the heart’s arteries to detect blockages.
• Coronary Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) & Instantaneous Wave-Free Ratio (iFR) Studies: Assesses the impact of blockages on blood flow to the heart.
• Carotid Angiography: Examines arteries supplying the brain for narrowing.
• Renal Angiography: Assesses blood vessels in the kidneys.
• Peripheral Angiography: Evaluates arteries in the legs, arms, or other parts of the body to detect circulation issues.
• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) Test: Assesses blood circulation in the legs to detect peripheral artery disease.
• Vascular Ultrasound & Color Flow Doppler Study: Uses ultrasound to evaluate blood flow in arteries and veins.
• Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA): Provides images of coronary arteries using CT technology.
• Cardiac Myocardial Biopsy: Analyzes heart muscle tissue for diseases affecting the heart.

Interventional Cardiology Treatments

Our expert interventional cardiologists provide a comprehensive range of advanced procedures to treat heart and vascular conditions, including:

• 24/7 Emergency Cardiac Intervention (Primary PCI): A life-saving procedure to open blocked arteries during a heart attack.
• Coronary Angioplasty (PCI): Uses balloons and stents, including drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons, to restore blood flow in blocked heart arteries.
• Carotid, Renal, and Lower Extremity Angioplasty: Treats blockages in arteries supplying the brain, kidneys, and legs using balloons and stents.
• Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Insertion: A device to assist heart pumping in critically ill patients.
• Pericardial Tap: Removes excess fluid from the sac around the heart to relieve pressure.
• Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) Implantation for patients with bradycardia or conduction disorders.
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation for patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
• Electrical Cardioversion for Arrhythmias: Uses controlled electric shocks to restore normal heart rhythm.

Expert Cardiac Surgery Treatments

Our experienced cardiac surgery team offers a full spectrum of surgical treatments for complex heart conditions, including:

• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) (On-pump/Off-pump): Restores blood flow in blocked arteries to reduce the risk of heart attacks.
• Heart Valve Repair or Replacement: Fixes or replaces damaged heart valves to improve heart function.
• Endocarditis Surgery: Treats severe heart infections that can damage heart valves.
• Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Repairs weakened sections of the aorta to prevent rupture.
• Heart Tumor Surgery: Removes abnormal growths within the heart.
• Septal Myectomy: A surgical treatment for thickened heart muscles obstructing blood flow.
• Epicardial Pacemaker Insertion: A specialized pacemaker implantation for rhythm management.
• Adult Congenital Heart Defect Repair: Corrects heart defects and holes present from birth in adults.
• Pericardiectomy: Removes the outer sac of the heart when it becomes stiff, restricting movement.
• Preoperative Assessment & Postoperative Care: Ensures patients are well-prepared before cardiac surgery and recover smoothly afterward.
• Patient Consultations & Second Opinions: Expert guidance to help patients make informed decisions about their heart health.

State-of-the-Art Cardiac Care Unit (CCU)

Our Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) adheres to international standards, providing specialized intensive care for cardiac patients:

• Advanced Cardiac Critical Care Services: Round-the-clock care for patients with severe heart conditions.
• Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring: Measures heart function in real-time to guide treatment decisions.
• Temporary Pacemaker Insertion (Transcutaneous & Transvenous Pacemakers): Supports heart rhythm until a permanent solution is determined.
• Remote Cardiac monitoring: Continuous patient monitoring to detect issues early.

Specialized Facilities for Seamless Cardiac Care

To ensure the highest standard of care, our cardiology department is equipped with:

• Dedicated Outpatient Heart Clinics (Adult & Pediatric Cardiology Services): Comprehensive cardiac care for both adults and children.
• 24/7 Emergency Cardiac Consultation & Intervention: Immediate care for urgent heart conditions.
• 24/7 Cardiac Catheterization & Angioplasty Services: Advanced procedures available at all times for critical cases.
• Highly Skilled CPR Team with Modern Ventilators & AutoPulse Technology: Restores circulation and resuscitates patients during cardiac arrest.
• Dedicated 9-Bed CCU with VIP Services: Personalized, comfortable care for heart patients.
• Post-CCU Care with Cardiac Telemonitoring: Continuous follow-up to ensure a smooth recovery.

At Iranian Hospital, the Cardiology & Cardiac Surgery Department is steadfast in its commitment to providing timely, effective, and compassionate care, ensuring optimal outcomes for every patient. With an unwavering dedication to excellence, we are pleased to extend our services to patients from around the world, offering the highest standard of care. In collaboration with leading medical centers across the UAE, we strive to deliver advanced cardiac treatments that not only improve lives but also foster hope for a healthier future.
