Department of Radiology Imaging & Technology” of Pharmacy wing organized a Guest Lecture on the topic ” INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY on 07/02/2024″
Department of Radiology Imaging & Technology” of Pharmacy wing organized a Guest Lecture on the topic ” INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY”. The lecture was delivered by Dr. Anil Sharma, MBBS, MD, DM Cardiology, IVY Hospital, Amritsar.
Dr. Anil Sharma started his lecture with general introduction of Heart and its anatomy. He also elaborated the term Cardiology , which is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the heart and the cardiovascular system. In addition to this, he discussed about Interventional Cardiology, which is a specialty that diagnoses and treats heart and blood vessel conditions using small tubes, which are known as called Catheters .
He made the audience aware that the heart diseases like Myocardial Infarction and heart attack can be diagnosed with the help of various tests like *ECG, Echocardiography, MRI and by CATH LAB.
He also discussed about the procedures for the treatment of the heart diseases like Angioplasty, Angiography, and Pacemaker replacement .
He further apprised that before the treatment, there should be pre-operative assessment of the patient and after the surgery, there should be post-operative assessment like the temperature conditions should be maintained optimum.Even the holes in the heart can be treated by simple surgeries without stitches.
Overall, the lecture was very impressive and was appreciated by all of the students as well as the faculty.
