By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)? Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), commonly known as heart bypass surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to restore blood flow to the heart muscle in patients with significant narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. Coronary artery disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaques) … Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Electrocardiography (ECG)? Electrocardiography (ECG), also known as an Electrocardiogram or EKG, is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the heart. By measuring the timing and strength of electrical signals, an ECG provides valuable information about your heart rate, heart rhythm, and overall cardiac … Electrocardiography (ECG)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)? Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is an advanced intravascular imaging technology that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed, real-time images from inside the coronary arteries. Unlike conventional coronary angiography, which shows only the outline (lumen) of the blood vessel, IVUS provides a comprehensive view of the … Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)

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
