Non Invasive Angiography

Cardiovascular Cartography


Cardiovascular Cartography (CCG) is a method to measure heart’s blood flow, oxygen supply etc using digitally acquired flow turbulence without putting any wires, catheters etc into the body.

Procedure


Special high precision data accusation electrodes, VAD vertical acceleration detector sensors and transducers measures the heart’s parameters which are analyzed by sophisticated computerize equipment. The procedure takes about 30 minutes.

CCG is for:


 Everyone over 30 years as screening test for early heart disease detection.
 High risk persons - family history of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight, smokers, high cholesterol levels, Sedentary and Stressful lifestyle, etc.
 Anyone having chest pain to know if it is due to heart or other disease
 Chest pain and Heart Patients - to determine extent of disease
 Follow up after EECP, ACT, Angioplasty and Bypass to assess progress.
 To assess chance of sudden cardiac death.
 To assess if aspirin is needed, if yoga and meditation will help, etc.
 As part of master health check up
 Mass screening for institutions, corporate, insurance companies etc

QUERY

ANSWER

HOW TO KNOW

Why do many suffer from Heart Attack especially when they never had any complaint and their ECG, Echocardiogram and TMT were normal?

You may have 50% block, in which case ECG, Echo and TMT are normal and due to rupture of plaque heart attack can occur.

By CCG you can know of blocks as low as 20 % and thus get timely warning of blocks in the blood vessels, take timely action and decrease the chances of sudden death.

If normal you need not worry or take unnecessary medicines.

Why do some people die suddenly due to heart attack?

They may be having predisposition to develop arrythmias (irregular heart beat)

or

They may have serious block in the most important coronary artery – the Left Main Artery also know as the artery of sudden death.

Why am I taking so many medicines everyday and still not improving - I am not sure if I am a heart patient or not. Is my diagnosis correct?

You may not be having a heart disease – you must confirm your diagnosis and if you do not have any heart problem you do not need the medicines.

How do I know I am not having any heart problem? I have no complaints but my parents had heart problem.

If your CG is normal you are a healthy person – do not worry but keep it up with healthy habits.
 

CCG answers these questions:

  • -         non-invasively without pain or discomfort
  • -         without radiation – safely and can be repeated
  • -         no hospital stay
  • -         can detects blocks in blood vessels even as low as 20% i.e. years before causing heart attack.

  • Angiography and Cardiac Surgeries

    • Angiography is normally used as the diagnostic tests before undertaking angioplasty or bypass surgeries. It has to be understood that angioplasty or bypass are done to improve blood flow to heart and angiography is a diagnostic tests to measure the degree of blockages. Thus it's a fallacy that a test to measure the blockages is used by most of the cardiologists, not to treat the blockages but to do cardiac surgeries to improve blood flow without the relevant blood flow study like stress thallium, 3 D Cartography, Pet scan. Especially after heart attack is set in and certain part of the heart has got damaged, then without myocardial blood flow studies, cardiac surgeries are not at all recommended. This is because the cardiac surgeries, cannot improve the blood supply to the damaged part of the heart.
