Heart ailments have become so common in today’s time mainly due to improper lifestyle. Some of the common heart conditions that require special medical attention from heart specialists include congenital heart conditions, valve disease, heart attack and failure, arrhythmia, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, coronary heart disease, angina, and hypertension. These can result in inefficient functioning of the heart

The major facilities available for patients includes:
Non-invasive Cardiac laboratory
For early diagnosis of heart problems, every cardiovascular case is assessed in detail through various highly precise tests such as 2D/3D Echo, Strain rate imaging, Holter monitoring via a portable device that can measure electrical activity for 24 hrs or long, Ambulatory BP monitoring (wherein the sphygmomanometer is used to measure the blood pressure readings for 24-hr period irrespective of whether the person is asleep or awake), Head-Up Tilt Table (HUTT) test (records heartbeats and pressure per minute while the person head is tilted onto the table at different levels), Treadmill testing (to measure the electrical activity of the heart while exercising), Ankle Brachial Index test (to check for Peripheral artery disease), Coronary Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography (computers are used to visualise the heart anatomy in high resolution), Echocardiography (transesophageal, fetal echocardiography, transthoracic, dobutamine stress electrocardiography, and three-dimensional), Non-invasive Cardiology and others.
Best World-Class Equipment
The diagnostic equipment includes 3 Tesla MRI, 128 slice CT Angiography, two treadmill machines, 2 latest 2-D Color Doppler Echocardiography machines, Holter monitoring systems, Ambulatory blood-pressure monitoring equipment, and state of the art Pulmonary Function test lab. This advanced equipment ensures that the doctor gets a true picture of the problem followed by a comprehensive treatment plan.
The diagnostic tests offered at RBH include Stress ECG, Transthoracic 2-D Echocardiography, 2-D Transesophageal Echocardiography, Exercise, and Pharmacological Stress Echocardiography, Carotid Doppler, Peripheral Doppler (arterial and venous), Renal Doppler, PFT, Holter, and Ambulatory BP monitoring.

Congenital heart diseases are heart defects that exist since birth, which means the child is born with the heart defect.
Cardiovascular diseases can be defined as conditions that affect the heart or the blood vessels. It affects the structure and function of the heart.
Congenital heart disease refers to a heart condition that is caused by birth. Any child who is born with heart disease suffers from congenital heart disease.
