By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Cardiac CT with Photon-Counting CT? A Cardiac CT (Computed Tomography) scan is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays and advanced computer technology to create highly detailed images of the heart and blood vessels. It helps doctors evaluate the structure of the heart, detect coronary artery disease, assess … Cardiac CT with Photon-Counting CT

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Cardiac MRI? Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Cardiac MRI) is a non-invasive imaging examination that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and advanced computer technology to produce highly detailed images of the heart and surrounding blood vessels—without exposing patients to ionizing radiation. Widely regarded as the gold standard … Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Cardiac MRI)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr)? Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat mitral regurgitation (MR), a condition in which the mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak backward from the left ventricle into the left atrium. Unlike conventional open-heart … Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr)

By: Abdi Waluyo Hospital Overview What is Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)? Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) is an advanced surgical technique that allows surgeons to perform complex heart operations through small incisions between the ribs instead of the traditional median sternotomy (splitting the breastbone). By avoiding a full chest incision, MICS minimizes surgical trauma … Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS)

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)
