The Cardiologist plays a pivotal role in the long-term treatment of patients with cardiovascular problems.

Non - intervention Cardiology
The Desun Cardiology team headed by eminent doctors- both from Government hospitals and private consultants blend clinical experience with expertise. Patients can also consult visiting cardiologists at the hospital's Out-Patients' Department (OPD). Where necessary, consultations between doctors / referrals may be made to enable a faster and more accurate diagnosis.

Cardiac treatment is backed by a full range of sophisticated diagnostic equipment. Apart from the routine Treadmill, Echo-cardiography and Colour Doppler studies, DESUN has also performed radial Angioplasty and radial angiography with stenting which is a rare phenomenon in this part of the country.

The Cathlab will permit techniques such as Coronary Angiography, Angioplasty, Balloon Valvuloplasty etc which do not require full surgical intervention. Other sophisticated investigations will also be available in Kolkata for the first time.

CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY (CAG) –
A special X-Ray of the blood vessels of the heart by the help of a special equipment called the Cardiac Cath Lab. DESUN has the latest state-of –the-art Digital Cath Lab by Philips to perform this procedure.

CORONARY OR BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY (PTCA) –
This procedure, also done in Cath Lab, entails a dilatation of the narrowed coronary arteries with a balloon or stent, which may be permanently placed at the site of the blockage or narrowing.

PERMANENT PACEMAKER (PPM) –
An electronic device placed in the heart, below the skin, to generate heartbeats, which the heart is unable to generate normally.

DESUN will in fact be a comprehensive heart-care hospital for all age groups.

DESUN will be a front-line hospital in Kolkata where a cardiac patient can arrive in an emergency and be assured of prompt treatment.
