By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL)? Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to treat severely calcified coronary arteries. Calcium deposits can make the arteries rigid and difficult to treat with conventional balloon angioplasty or stent placement. IVL uses acoustic pressure waves (shockwaves) to safely fracture calcium within … Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is a Treadmill Stress Test (TMT)? A Treadmill Stress Test (TMT), also known as an Exercise Stress Test or Exercise ECG, is a non-invasive test that evaluates how your heart responds to physical activity. During the test, your heart rate, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are continuously monitored while … Treadmill Stress Test (TMT)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)? Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is a specialized ultrasound examination that produces highly detailed images of the heart and its surrounding structures. Unlike a standard transthoracic echocardiogram, where the ultrasound probe is placed on the chest, TEE uses a thin, flexible probe that is gently passed through … Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Cardiac Nuclear Imaging? Cardiac Nuclear Imaging, also known as Nuclear Cardiology or Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI), is a non-invasive diagnostic examination that evaluates blood flow to the heart muscle both at rest and during stress. The test uses a small amount of radioactive tracer (radiopharmaceutical) together with an … Cardiac Nuclear Imaging (Nuclear Cardiology)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)? Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), also known as Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting (PTCA) , is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart muscle. During the procedure, a cardiologist inserts a thin, … Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Cardiac Ablation? Cardiac Ablation, also known as Catheter Ablation, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias) by eliminating or isolating small areas of heart tissue that generate or conduct abnormal electrical signals. During the procedure, a cardiac electrophysiologist inserts thin, flexible catheters … Cardiac Ablation

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Echocardiography? Echocardiography is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to produce detailed, three-dimensional, real-time images of the heart. Compared with conventional two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography, 3D Echocardiography provides a more comprehensive view of the heart’s anatomy, allowing doctors to evaluate cardiac structures and function … Echocardiography

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is 24-Hour Ambulatory ECG (Holter) Monitoring? A 24-hour Ambulatory ECG, commonly known as Holter Monitoring, is a portable heart rhythm test that continuously records your heart’s electrical activity while you go about your normal daily routine. Unlike a standard electrocardiogram (ECG), which records only a few seconds of heart … 24-Hour Ambulatory ECG (Holter) Monitoring
