Introduction

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, significantly impacting heart health. It is vital for patients and their families in Punjab to have access to expert assessment and treatment options, ensuring the highest level of care. Livasa Amritsar is at the forefront of advanced treatment for CAD, offering the latest in cardiac surgery to patients in need.

What is Coronary Artery Disease?

Coronary Artery Disease is a condition characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, primarily due to atherosclerosis—a buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits (plaques) on the inner walls of the arteries. Over time, these plaques can restrict blood flow, leading to chest pain (angina) or even heart attacks. In Punjab, lifestyle factors such as dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, and genetics play a significant role in the prevalence of CAD.

The common symptoms of CAD include:

• Chest pain or discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue with physical exertion
• Heartburn or indigestion

State-of-the-Art Diagnosis

At Livasa Amritsar, cutting-edge diagnostic tools are employed to offer precise and comprehensive evaluations of heart conditions. The latest technology in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) allows cardiologists to visualize the coronary arteries' interiors, providing critical data that shapes the treatment plan.

Advanced Treatment Options

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is a well-established surgical treatment for CAD, expertly provided by Livasa Amritsar. By creating a new route around the blocked artery, CABG improves blood flow to the heart muscle, relieving symptoms and maximizing survival odds post-heart attack.

Additional advanced procedures offered include:

• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
• Minimal Access Bypass Surgery
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT-D)

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)

Livasa Hospitals takes pride in offering Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS), which greatly reduces recovery time and postoperative discomfort. As compared in the table below, MICS uses smaller incisions, contributing to faster recovery, reduced pain, and lower infection risks compared to traditional cardiac surgeries.
