By Dr. M S ChandraMouli   Introduction Tricuspid valve (TV) disease, though less common than left-sided valvular pathologies, can lead to significant morbidity, particularly when associated with congenital heart defects such as atrial septal defects (ASD). Surgical intervention, including bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement, is often required in advanced cases. However, postoperative complications such as complete […]

In the rapidly advancing field of cardiac care, Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) have become essential tools in managing a variety of heart rhythm disorders. Recently, our center witnessed a rare and intensive 36-hour span during which multiple CIEDs were implanted across different patient profiles, ranging from leadless pacemakers to advanced defibrillators and conduction system […]

Atrial arrhythmias can be challenging to manage in any patient—but when they occur in post-transplant recipients, the complexity rises significantly. Immunosuppressive medications, altered cardiac physiology, and long-term metabolic changes often blur the lines between typical cardiac care and transplant-specific concerns. This blog delves into a real-world case of persistent atrial flutter in a liver transplant […]

Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias can be among the most challenging conditions to treat, especially when patients suffer from recurrent shocks from an Automated Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD). The shock, while potentially lifesaving, can be a reminder of the heart’s precarious condition, and for many, this cycle of shocks can be physically and emotionally draining. For patients […]

If your heart sometimes races, flutters, or skips a beat, you’re not alone. Millions of people experience arrhythmias—irregular heartbeats that can be harmless, annoying, or even dangerous. When medications don’t help or side effects become a problem, there’s a powerful, minimally invasive treatment that can offer lasting relief: Radiofrequency Ablation. Let’s dive into what RFA […]

Imagine having a tiny guardian inside your chest—constantly monitoring your heartbeat, ready to jump into action at a moment’s notice to save your life. That’s not science fiction. That’s what an AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) does. In today’s blog, we’ll walk you through what an AICD is, why it might be necessary, what the […]

When your heart starts to slow down or beat irregularly, it can leave you feeling tired, dizzy, or even faint. But thanks to modern medical tech, a small device called a pacemaker can get your heart back on track—literally. Let’s break down what a pacemaker is, why it’s used, and what the implantation process looks […]
