1. Cardiovascular Consultation
2. Diagnostic Testing:
Electrocardiogram (ECG): To evaluate the electrical activity of the heart and detect any arrhythmias or irregularities.
Echocardiogram: An ultrasound to visualize heart function and structure, helping to detect issues like valve diseases or heart failure.
Stress Testing: To evaluate how the heart performs under physical exertion and identify any hidden heart conditions.
Holter Monitoring: Continuous ECG monitoring over 24-48 hours to assess irregular heart rhythms.
Cardiac CT: Advanced imaging techniques for detailed visualization of the heart and blood vessels, particularly useful for diagnosing coronary artery disease and other structural issues.
3. Preventive Cardiovascular Care:
Risk assessments to identify potential cardiovascular risks such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease.
Lifestyle counseling, including guidance on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and smoking cessation, to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Screening for early signs of cardiovascular conditions, such as atherosclerosis or hypertension, even before symptoms appear.
4. Disease Management:
Management of chronic conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertension.
Personalized medication plans to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and other factors that impact heart health.
Ongoing monitoring and follow-up care to ensure optimal disease management.
5. Congenital Heart Disease Care:
Specialized services for the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of congenital heart defects, with a focus on both pediatric and adult care
At Gemelli, cardiac surgery is considered advanced, including bypass and valve replacement, with the best possible outlook for heart health.
The most up-to-date minimally invasive techniques such as angioplasty or stinting are employed for restoring normal blood flow and treating heart problems.
Recovery and lifestyle change and monitoring the long-term health of the heart are emphasized to patients in a full rehabilitation program following treatment.
This surgery is performed on patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) with an objective of bypassing blocked arteries. It is usually done by making an artificial pathway which is linked to the heart using the patient’s blood vessels harvested from leg, arm, or chest to carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart. Improves heart function, significantly relieves arms-related angina, and may also prevent heart attacks. Because CABG is open-heart surgery, it is most frequently paired with rehabilitation post surgery as well as changes in lifestyle and medications for the rest of your life.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is one of the most effective surgical treatments for severe CAD, particularly when multiple arteries are blocked or when other treatments, such as angioplasty, are not viable. The procedure helps restore normal blood flow, reducing the strain on the heart and improving overall cardiac function. Depending on the severity of the condition, CABG may involve bypassing one or more arteries, known as single, double, triple, or quadruple bypass surgery.
Recovery from CABG typically requires a hospital stay of around a week, with initial recovery lasting a few months. Cardiac rehabilitation plays a crucial role in helping patients regain strength, adopt heart-healthy habits, and reduce future risks. Long-term management includes regular check-ups, a heart-friendly diet, exercise, and strict adherence to prescribed medications to maintain cardiovascular health.
Recognized as Italy’s Best Hospital 2024 by Newsweek and Statista, Gemelli continues to set benchmarks in medical excellence.
