Procedures
Advanced Techniques in Coronary Angiogram, Angioplasty, Functional Imaging, Valve Replacement, and Defect Closure.
Coronary Angiogram
Is a specialised heart procedure that uses contrast and xray to take dynamic x-ray images of the heart.

Is a percutaneous medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked heart arteries via the wrist or groin
Read more about AngioplastyFunctional Angiography & Coronary Physiology
Specialised imaging technique used to assess the functional significance of coronary artery narrowing. Unlike conventional angiography, which provides anatomical information about the anatomical severity of blockages, functional angiography evaluates the physiological impact of these blockages to the heart muscle.
Advanced Coronary Artery Imaging
Including OCT (Optical coherence tomography) and IVUS (Intra vascular ultrasound) that are used to visualize the interior of coronary artery
