Cardiac Sciences & Coronary Care Unit

Founded 32 years ago, Ruby Hall Clinic Cardiac Centre is the second-largest cardiac centre in India. There are four cutting-edge cardiac catheterisation labs and four operational, well-equipped cardiac operating rooms. The success rate of the intricate heart surgeries and angioplasties performed at Ruby Hall Clinic has made the cardiac department renowned throughout India and the rest of the world.
Our Cardiac Centre boasts 14 cardiac surgeons and 21 cardiologists, some of whom are the best cardiologists in Pune. Other services offered include electrophysiology, rotablaters, FFR, intravascular ultrasounds, and intra-aortic balloon pumps. The Cardiac Centre has been actively involved in non-invasive ASD, VSD, and PDA closures and a large number of complex angioplasties utilising various stents have also been performed.

Reasons To Visit A Cardiologist

Coronary Angiography

Coronary angiography is a test used to detect narrowing in your arteries. Learn what to expect and when you might get a stent.

What is angiography, and how is it done?

Angiograms are X-rays that detect narrow, blocked, enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many body parts, including the brain, heart, abdomen, and legs. Coronary angiograms are X-rays of the arteries in the heart. An Angiogram offers information on the extent and severity of any heart disease and helps your doctor plan your treatment. These may include angioplasty (stents), bypass surgery, or medications.

Coronary angioplasty

Angioplasty is a procedure that opens clogged arteries in the heart. A tiny balloon helps widen an artery that has been temporarily blocked by a plaque.

An angioplasty is often combined with the permanent placement of a stent, to prop an artery open and decrease its risk of narrowing again. Some stents are coated with medication to help keep your artery open (drug-eluting stents), while others are not (bare-metal stents).

This procedure can relieve chest pain and shortness of breath caused by blocked arteries. In addition to opening blocked arteries after a heart attack, angioplasty can also reduce the degree of heart damage.

Aortic surgery

Surgery to repair or replace aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections.

Aortic valve surgery

Surgery to repair or replace an aortic valve that is not working correctly.

Arrhythmia surgery

A surgical procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

Congenital heart surgery

Corrective surgery to fix or treat a genetic heart defect.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

A surgical procedure where the blocked portion of the coronary artery is bypassed with another piece of blood vessel.

Heart transplant

An option for treating advanced heart failure, a condition where the body cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to meet its organ needs.

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD)

A mechanical device that aids in the pumping function of the blood.

Left ventricular remodelling/surgical ventricular restoration

A technique that gets the heart back into a more normal shape after a heart attack, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently.

Myectomy/myotomy

A surgical treatment which removes a portion of the enlarged heart wall.

Transmyocardial revascularisation (TMR)

Relieves severe angina or chest pain in patients who aren’t candidates for bypass surgery or angioplasty.

Valvular surgery

Heart valve surgery repairs or replaces diseased heart valves.

The Ruby Hall Clinic has over 100 beds devoted to heart conditions, including a cutting-edge 36-bed Coronary Care Unit designed and run by seasoned cardiologist and founding director Dr. R.B. Gulati.

Two million new cases of heart failure are reported in India every year, and one-third of them require a heart transplant. A transplant is performed when end-stage heart failure or heart injury can’t be treated by any other means. It is reserved for individuals with a high risk of dying.
Ruby Hall Clinic was the first hospital in Pune to have received a license to undertake this procedure, adding to its list of organ transplants. The heart transplant program has the depth and experience to successfully treat those patients for whom transplant is the answer, as well as the many patients for whom it is not. Our heart transplant team is experienced in evaluating high-risk patients and understands what transplants can provide. Based on the evaluation results, the transplant team decides whether or not a heart transplant is appropriate as the best therapeutic option.

Heart ailments are often thought of as an affliction of adults. But unfortunately, children suffer from life-threatening cardiac conditions. Therefore, Managing Trustee Dr. Purvez Grant deemed it necessary to have a dedicated paediatric cardiology unit.
From accurate and timely diagnosis to appropriate and proficient treatment, the paediatric cardiology unit provides end-to-end cardiac care from 18 weeks gestation.

These include both care and correction for congenital heart diseases like:

  • Atrial Septal Defect
  • Ventricular Septal Defect
  • Patent Ductus Arteriosus
  • Fallot’s Tetralogy
  • Congenital valve stenosis
  • Coarctation of the aorta and pulmonary artery
  • Coronary AV fistulas
  • Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations
  • Aortopulmonary collaterals

as well as treatment for cardiac conditions like

  • Rheumatic Heart Disease
  • Myocarditis
  • Cardiomyopathies

Our cardiac catheterisation procedures offer treatment of many congenital heart defects without open heart surgery, which include the closure of septal defects, balloon dilatation, and stenting. Our paediatric cardiac care facility also provides the full spectrum of paediatric electrophysiology services, including
  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Transcatheter cryoablation
  • Intraoperative cryoablation
Effective treatment is entirely dependent on efficient diagnosis.

We provide all services, including:

  • Coronary angiography
  • Diagnostic cardiac catheterisation
  • Transthoracic, transoesophageal, and intraoperative echocardiography
  • 256-slice CT
  • 2D, 3D, echo, and stress echocardiography

FAQs

Do cardiac tests hurt?

Patient comfort is of utmost priority, and our doctors ensure that all tests are as minimally invasive as possible. While most procedures are comfortable and pain-free, we may be required to draw blood for diagnostic samples. Rest assured, our diagnosticians have ample expertise and place your comfort above all.

While there are a variety of factors that can put you at risk for cardiac problems, a good lifestyle can eradicate some of the risks. However, some factors include smoking tobacco, high cholesterol or blood pressure, excess physical exertion or physical inactivity, obesity, or diabetes.
Our experts provide medical management, treatments, or lifestyle modification guidelines to help treat your condition. If these treatments have not worked for you or can’t be used to treat your cardiac condition, heart surgery might be an option. In such instances, our specialists will work with you to decide whether heart surgery is the best treatment option for you.
While our hospital offers stellar results for heart surgery, it is important to understand that, as with any other surgery, this too comes with risks. Some of these include bleeding, inflammation, or infection; a reaction to anaesthesia; damage to other organs; or, in rare cases, death. However, these risks are higher if surgery is performed in emergencies or if the patient has underlying conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, lung disease, or peripheral arterial disease. The best heart doctors take the patient through the potential risks and help determine the course of treatment that’s best for you before finalising surgery.
Heart attacks refer to the death of heart muscle and are caused by a block in the artery. Current technology allows for the re-opening of blocked arteries to preserve heart muscle and thereby heart function. For this purpose, we highly recommend that medical help be sought as soon as chest pain and associated symptoms occur. Most often, heart attacks treated in the earliest possible time frame have the best chances for a smooth, swift recovery.

When Do I Need Specialised Care?

The heart is one of the hardest working muscles in your body, beating more than 1,00,000 times a day. While heart attacks come unannounced, it is always good to know that visiting a cardiologist can help prevent mishaps in the future.
