1) What is Cardiovascular Cartography? |
|
• This is a new technique for the early detection of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
• The information obtained by cartography is not provided by the existing cardiac diagnostic tools
• Some of the information was never possible, non-invasively, earlier
• CAD is a progressive silent killer and if left undetected at its early stage leads to ANGINA PECTORIS [Chest Pain], MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION [Heart Attack], SUDDEN DEATH
|
|
2) Who requires Cartography? |
|
• Anyone above 30 years of age with stressful lifestyle
• Family history of CAD
• Suffering from hypertension, diabetes, obesity
• High lipid (fat) profile of blood
• Undergone PTCA/Stenting/CABG procedure, Pacemaker, etc.
• Those who have had heart attacks and undergoing treatment
|
|
3) What are the Advantages of Cartography? |
|
• Non-Invasive procedure
• No Pain, No Anesthesia, No Catheterization
• No "after effects"; No physical / mental stress
• Can be repeated any number of times, unlike invasive methods
• No hospitalization
• Provides 5 page colour report on the functioning and current status of the heart
• Indicates Myocardial (Heart Muscle) blood flow and oxygen demand and supply for every beat of your heart
• The report is fully evaluated by an experienced and specially trained cardiologist providing you with expert advise/comments
• Offers panoramic data of the heart for future monitoring/comparison for the treatment
• The entire package is cost effective
|
|
4) What should you do before coming for the test? |
|
• Should have been fasting for 6-12 hours
• No drugs for a period of 12 hours
• no alcohol/smoking or tobacco for 12 hours
• No stimulants like coffee/tea/soft drinks for 12 hours
• No physical exercise/long walks 12 hours before test
• May take only little milks or water during fasting
• Empty the urinary bladder before procedure

Studies on this technique in different parts of the world and "Mass Screening" has helped thousands of people to prevent heart attacks by this EARLY WARNING SYSTEM.
