Centre for Respiratory & Chest Medicine at Fortis Hospitals Bangalore

Going out of breath every time you try to do something – right from picking up the regular grocery bag and walking back home, to opting for stairs instead of the lift, running a bit or going for an out of the blue swim – is not natural. Breathing problems tend to affect various aspects and aspirations of our daily life. They may occur due to multiple reasons such as heart conditions, anxiety and muscle weakness and/ or lung problems. Pulmonology is a subspecialty of internal medicine focused on resolving issues related to the latter. Although pulmonologists work across departments for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, their expertise lies in providing consultation and diagnosis for illnesses and conditions that affect breathing and the lungs. Right from asthma to lung puncture due to a trauma/ accident, pulmonologists treat all of it.

Although we may not be aware, several muscles are used during respiration. These muscles – intercoastal, accessory, exhalation, and the diaphragm – work along with the key organs of our respiratory track – nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs – to ensure its smooth functioning. The highly competitive and renowned team at Fortis hospital, Bangalore has had X years of experience in ensuring such smooth functioning for Y patients now. It is not for no reason that Fortis Bangalore has quickly raised ranks to become one of the leading medical facilities in India for diagnosis and treatment of lung pulmonary disorders. By using advanced world class medical technologies, their pulmonology team has been able to provide accurate in-clinic diagnosis and rehabilitation.

  • What diseases do a heart specialist or a cardiologist treat?
    A heart specialist treats a wide range of heart-related problems such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina (chest pain), sudden cardiac arrest, heart failure, heart attack, blood clots, atrial fibrillation, and other heart rhythm disorders, endocarditis, cardiogenic shock, heart valve problems, heart abnormalities, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, congenital (from birth) conditions, problems with the aorta (aneurysm, stenosis), stroke, etc. If you’re experiencing any of these cardiovascular problems, consult the top cardiologists in Navi Mumbai for the best possible treatment.
  • What kind of procedures does an interventional cardiologist do?
    An interventional cardiologist performs various procedures: 1. Cardiac catheterisation/Angiogram In this test, the presence, location and size of the plaque deposits in the arteries, the heart muscle stability, and the activity of the heart valves are detected. 2. Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)/ Angioplasty This procedure is also known as angioplasty in which the coronary artery is opened up to restore blood flow. This treatment is performed during emergencies for a heart attack patient. 3. Balloon Angioplasty This Angioplasty is performed to improve the blood flow to the heart. A balloon-tipped catheter is guided up to the blocked artery. When the balloon reaches the site of the blockage, it inflates and opens the artery walls by stretching it. 4. Atherectomy In Atherectomy, a special pulverizing device is used to open the stiff blockages in the coronary arteries. This procedure is performed during balloon angioplasty. 5. Stent Implantation When the balloon angioplasty or atherectomy is completed, a metal coil which is called a stent is placed in the artery. This stent is placed at the end of the catheter and helps in preventing opened arteries from collapsing. If you want to consult an interventional cardiologist in Mumbai, we have the best interventional cardiologists in the panel. 6. TAVI (transcutaneous aortic valve implantation) It is a minimally invasive procedure where a new valve is inserted without removing the old, damaged valve. The new valve is placed inside the diseased valve. 7. Electrophysiology study and radiofrequency ablation It is a test to measure the electrical activity of the heart and to diagnose arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythms.

  • What is angioplasty?
    Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels, usually in the arteries. A catheter with an inflatable balloon is inserted into the affected vessel, and the balloon is inflated to widen the artery and restore blood flow. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can improve symptoms and blood circulation for various cardiovascular conditions. For angioplasty in Navi Mumbai, contact Fortis Hospital Vashi
  • What is bypass surgery (CABG)?
    Bypass surgery, also known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), is a surgical procedure used to treat severe coronary artery disease. It involves creating a new pathway for blood to bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using a healthy blood vessel graft. This improves blood flow to the heart, relieves symptoms, and reduces the risk of heart attacks. It is typically considered when other treatments are not sufficient.
  • Can CT angiography detect blockage?
    Certainly! CT angiography can detect blockages in blood vessels using X-ray imaging and contrast dye to highlight the vessels. It's effective for identifying blockages caused by conditions like atherosclerosis in various parts of the body, including the heart, brain, and other organs.
