Key Procedures and Specialities
Ruby Hall Clinic offers state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratories equipped with flat-panel digital imaging systems. Coronary angiography is performed by experienced interventional cardiologists for diagnosis of coronary artery disease, assessment of valve function, and evaluation of congenital heart defects.
Our interventional cardiology team performs over 3,000 angioplasty procedures annually. We offer complex PCI including bifurcation stenting, left main intervention, CTO revascularization, rotational atherectomy, and intravascular imaging-guided procedures (IVUS/OCT).
The department of cardiac surgery at Ruby Hall Clinic performs the full range of open-heart operations including CABG (beating heart and on-pump), valve repair and replacement, aortic aneurysm repair, and combined procedures. Our outcomes are benchmarked against international standards.
Our neurointerventional team provides 24/7 stroke intervention services including mechanical thrombectomy. We also offer aneurysm coiling, AVM embolization, carotid artery stenting, and intracranial stenting for various cerebrovascular conditions.
The state-of-the-art Coronary Care Unit is staffed round-the-clock with cardiologists and critical care nurses. Equipped with advanced hemodynamic monitoring, bedside echocardiography, and IABP/ventilator support for managing acute coronary syndromes and cardiogenic shock.
Ruby Hall Clinic has an established heart transplant programme with a multidisciplinary team. From pre-transplant evaluation and listing to surgery and lifelong follow-up, our programme ensures the highest standards of care for patients with end-stage heart failure.
Our paediatric cardiology unit provides comprehensive care for children with congenital and acquired heart disease. Services include fetal echocardiography, neonatal cardiac care, device closures, and balloon valvuloplasty, all delivered by a dedicated paediatric cardiology team.
Advanced cardiac diagnostics including 128-slice CT coronary angiography, cardiac MRI, nuclear cardiology (SPECT/PET), 3D echocardiography, EP studies, and ambulatory monitoring. Our diagnostic capabilities enable precise evaluation for personalized treatment planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do cardiac tests hurt?
Most cardiac tests like ECG, echocardiography, stress test, and Holter monitoring are completely non-invasive and painless. Procedures like angiography involve a small needle prick for local anaesthesia and are generally well-tolerated.
What increases cardiac risk?
Major risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, family history of heart disease, and stress. Age and gender also play a role.
Am I a candidate for heart surgery?
Your cardiologist will evaluate your condition through comprehensive diagnostics and discuss treatment options. Surgery may be recommended for severe coronary artery disease, valve disorders, or congenital defects when other treatments are insufficient.
How soon should one be treated after a heart attack?
Time is critical during a heart attack. The goal is to restore blood flow within 90 minutes of arrival at the hospital. Ruby Hall Clinic maintains 24/7 readiness for emergency angioplasty with door-to-balloon times well below national benchmarks.
When should I seek specialist care?
Seek immediate care for chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, or fainting. Schedule a consultation if you have risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, or family history.
When should I seek specialist care?
If you experience chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, or have risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, or family history of heart disease, consult our cardiac specialists. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives.
