The Cardiology & Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery (CTVS) department at Neelam Super Specialty Hospital is overseen by best Cardiologists in Tricity, and features an advanced Cath lab equipped with the latest techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. Interventional cardiology, a non-surgical field, employs a catheter—a small, flexible tube—to address issues such as repairing damaged or weakened vessels, narrowing arteries, or other affected components of the heart structure.
A diagnostic procedure utilizing contrast dye and X-rays to observe blood flow in coronary arteries, facilitating the identification of blockages or irregularities for heart condition diagnosis and treatment planning.During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into the arteries, and contrast dye is injected to enhance X-ray visualization of blood flow. This allows cardiologists to pinpoint areas of narrowing, blockages, or other irregularities that may impede proper blood circulation to the heart muscle.
By accurately assessing the extent and severity of coronary artery disease, coronary angiography guides treatment decisions, such as medication management, angioplasty, or bypass surgery, to restore optimal cardiac function and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
A therapeutic intervention within interventional cardiology, involving the inflation of a balloon-tipped catheter in narrowed or blocked coronary arteries to enhance blood flow, often followed by stent placement for sustained efficacy is carried out.
Coronary Angiplasty provides an immediate and effective solution for restoring blood flow to the heart muscle, alleviating symptoms such as chest pain (angina) and shortness of breath. Since it is minimally invasive compared to traditional open-heart surgery, it results in shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times and reduces overall healthcare costs.
This procedure has a high success rate, offering long-term relief from symptoms and improving quality of life for patients. With advancements in technology and techniques, including the use of drug-eluting stents, coronary angioplasty continues to evolve as a safe and efficient treatment option for coronary artery disease.
Pacemaker and device management helps monitor and maintain implanted heart devices that regulate abnormal heart rhythms. Regular follow-up appointments ensure the pacemaker functions properly, the battery remains healthy, and settings are adjusted when needed. Timely device checks improve heart performance, reduce complications, and support long-term cardiovascular health.
Additionally, patients are advised to attend all scheduled device check-ups to ensure early detection of any technical issues. Doctors may use specialized programming tools to evaluate device data and optimize performance. It is also important to follow medical advice strictly, avoid strong magnetic fields, and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle for better long-term outcomes and safe pacemaker functioning.
At Neelam Hospital, patients receive advanced heart care under the guidance of (Prof.) Dr. Himanshu Gupta, one of the region's highly qualified and experienced interventional cardiologists. With extensive national and international training, he is committed to delivering evidence-based cardiac care using the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques.
Dr. Himanshu Gupta completed his MD and DM in Cardiology from AIIMS, New Delhi, one of India's leading medical institutions. He also served as (Additional) Professor of Cardiology at PGI Chandigarh, where he contributed to patient care, clinical research, and the training of future cardiologists.
To further strengthen his expertise, Dr. Gupta completed an Interventional Fellowship at the National Heart Centre, Singapore, along with Advanced Catheterization Training at Mount Sinai, New York (USA). His international exposure enables him to provide advanced, patient-focused cardiac treatments that follow globally accepted clinical standards.
At Neelam Hospital, Dr. Himanshu Gupta specializes in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including:
Every treatment plan is personalized based on the patient's medical condition, overall health, and long-term cardiac goals. With advanced technology, compassionate care, and a patient-first approach, Dr. Himanshu Gupta and the cardiology team at Neelam Hospital focus on early diagnosis, effective treatment, and improved heart health outcomes.
