Stenting

Stenting is a medical procedure that involves placing a small mesh tube (stent) into a narrowed or blocked artery to restore blood flow. It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as coronary artery disease, where narrowing occurs due to plaque buildup, thus improving oxygen delivery to the heart and reducing the risk of heart attacks.

🔬 Related Investigations

Ultrasound

Doppler Ultrasound Upper Limbs (Venous)

The Doppler Ultrasound Upper Limbs (Venous) test evaluates blood flow in the veins of the arms, utilizing ultrasound technology to detect abnormalities such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is commonly performed to assess circulation issues, ensuring timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.

Biochemistry

HDL Cholesterol ("Good" Cholesterol)

The HDL Cholesterol test measures the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood, often referred to as 'good' cholesterol due to its role in helping to remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. This test is commonly done to assess heart health and the risk of cardiovascular disease, as higher levels of HDL are generally associated with a lower risk.

Biochemistry

Triglycerides

The Triglycerides test measures the amount of triglycerides, a type of fat, in the blood to assess cardiovascular health. Elevated levels can indicate a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health conditions.

Biochemistry

Total Cholesterol

The Total Cholesterol test measures the overall level of cholesterol in the blood, including HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol). It is done to assess cardiovascular risk and monitor cholesterol levels over time for heart health.

Biochemistry

AST (Aspartate Transaminase)

The AST (Aspartate Transaminase) test measures the level of the enzyme AST in the blood, which is primarily found in the liver, heart, and muscles. It's commonly performed to assess liver function and diagnose conditions like liver disease, heart attacks, or muscle disorders, as elevated levels indicate cell injury in these organs.

ECG & Cardiac Services

24-Hour Holter Monitoring

24-Hour Holter Monitoring is a continuous test used to record the heart's electrical activity for 24 hours. It helps detect irregular heart rhythms, assess heart function, and evaluate symptoms that occur intermittently, such as palpitations or unexplained dizziness.
