The best in critical cardiac care
To treat patients with serious or acute heart problems such as cardiomyopathy, postpartum cardiomyopathy and heart failure, Bhrungi is equipped with a best Medical Intensive Care Unit. The patients admitted here require continuous monitoring and specialized cardiovascular therapy, and are attended to 24×7 by nurses, technicians, and physicians who have been specially trained to take care of people with serious cardiac conditions.
Enhancing our capability to provide top quality cardiac care is the advanced equipment which includes a cardiac monitor that records and analyzes each beat of the patient’s heart and sounds an alarm to alert the staff if serious arrhythmias occur and ventilators for patients who experience severe breathing problems as a result of their heart condition.

2D Echo
An echocardiogram provides an ultrasound picture that shows the structure of the heart chambers and surrounding areas, and makes it easy to check for damages, blockages, and blood flow rate.
A 2D Echo is done to detect conditions such as:
• Any underlying heart diseases or abnormalities
• Congenital heart diseases and blood clots or tumours
• Malfunctioning of the heart valve
• Abnormality of blood flow within the heart
CT Angiography
A Computed Tomography Angiogram (CT Angiogram) is a test that uses X-rays to provide detailed pictures of the heart and the blood vessels. A special dye (contrast material) is injected in your arm or hand to make the blood vessels easier to see on the scan.
Your doctor may recommend CT Angiography for the following reasons:
• To find an aneurysm (a blood vessel that has become enlarged and may be in danger of rupturing)
• To find blood vessels that have become narrowed by atherosclerosis (fatty material that forms plaques in the walls of arteries)
• To detect congenital (birth-related) abnormalities of the cardiovascular system, including the heart
• To identify blood vessels damaged by injury
• To find blood clots that may have formed in your leg veins and traveled into your lungs.
• To evaluate a tumor that is fed by blood vessels
Treadmill Test (TMT)
A TMT is a stress test that shows how your heart works during physical activity, which involves walking on a treadmill while your heart rhythm, blood pressure and breathing are monitored. Since exercise makes your heart pump harder and faster, a TMT stress test can reveal problems with blood flow within your heart.
Your doctor may recommend a TMT to:
• Diagnose coronary artery disease
• Diagnose heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias)
• Predict risk of dangerous heart-related conditions such as a heart attack.
• Guide treatment of heart disorders
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG records the electrical signals in the heart. It is a non-invasive and painless test used to quickly detect heart problems and monitor your heart’s health.
Your doctor may use an ECG to determine:
• Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmias)
• If blocked or narrowed arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease) are causing chest pain or a heart attack
• Whether you have had a previous heart attack
• How well certain heart disease treatments, such as a pacemaker, are working
