Not all heart problems require open-heart surgery. Our patients may benefit from
minimally invasive procedures like cardiac catheterization. In the Cath Lab, we can
diagnose and treat a whole host of issues.
The Cardiology Department of Ford Hospital has a pool of highly skilled and specialized
Doctors, Nurses, Cardiovascular and Cath Lab Technicians. The Hospital provides
intensive Cardiac Care, diagnosis and treatment of Cardiac and peripheral vascular
diseases. It is equipped with the latest technologies for Cardiac Catherizations and
Angiography, Angioplasty, Valvuloplasty, Echo, Holter and Stress testing.
There are many PROCEDURES that are available IN INTERVENTION CARDIOLOGY. Our specialists choose the one most suitable for your ailment after carrying out a complete examination.

Our dedicated team of cardiologists is well-known for its expertise, knowledge, and vast experience in their respective arena of heart related problems.
Ford Hospital is home to few of the best cardiac surgeons in Bihar who offer quality cardiac care services to domestic as well as international patients.
Our Diagnostic Services Include:
Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery:
Ford Hospital offers the very best cardiac care in terms of safety and design in order to minimize the incidence of infection in an operating area. This enables the heart surgeons to operate on the precious hearts of all age groups from infants to the aged.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) : Narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle, often due to atherosclerosis..
Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): Occurs when a coronary artery is blocked, leading to the death of heart muscle tissue due to lack of oxygen.
Heart Failure::Inability of the heart to pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs, leading to fluid buildup (congestion) in the lungs and other tissues.
Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms, which can be too slow (bradycardia), too fast (tachycardia), or irregular.
Valvular Heart Disease: Conditions affecting heart valves, such as stenosis (narrowing), regurgitation (leaking), or prolapse.
Cardiomyopathy: Disease of the heart muscle that affects its structure and function, often leading to heart failure.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Persistent elevation of blood pressure, which can strain the heart and blood vessels over time
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowing of the arteries outside of the heart, usually in the legs, due to atherosclerosis.
Congenital Heart Defects: Structural abnormalities of the heart present at birth, affecting blood flow through the heart and to the rest of the body.
Endocarditis: Infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and valves, often caused by bacteria.
Pericarditis: Inflammation of the pericardium (the sac surrounding the heart), often due to infection or autoimmune diseases.
Cardiac Arrest: Sudden loss of heart function, often due to arrhythmias, which can be fatal without immediate medical attention.
Aortic Aneurysm: Weakness and bulging of the aorta (the main artery carrying blood from the heart), which can be life-threatening if it ruptures.
Pulmonary Embolism:Blockage of a blood vessel in the lungs, usually due to a blood clot that has traveled from elsewhere in the body, such as the legs.
Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol): Elevated levels of cholesterol and/or triglycerides in the blood, contributing to atherosclerosis and heart disease risk.
Adult Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (CTVS) is a specialized field within cardiology that focuses on surgical treatments for conditions affecting the heart, chest (thoracic), and blood vessels (vascular) in adults. At Ford Hospital, our CTVS department is dedicated to providing advanced surgical interventions to treat complex cardiac and vascular diseases.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): CABG is a surgical procedure used to bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. It involves using healthy blood vessels (grafts) to create new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle, improving blood supply and reducing symptoms of coronary artery disease.
Valve Repair and Replacement : Surgical techniques are employed to repair or replace damaged heart valves. This can involve repairing valve leaflets, annuloplasty (repairing the valve ring), or replacing the valve with mechanical or biological prosthetics.
Aortic Surgery: Procedures such as aortic aneurysm repair and aortic dissection repair are performed to treat conditions affecting the aorta, the largest artery in the body. These surgeries aim to prevent rupture and restore normal blood flow.
Thoracic Surgery: Thoracic surgeries address conditions affecting the organs within the chest cavity, such as lung resection for cancer, thoracic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis, and other procedures related to the lungs and chest wall..
Vascular Surgery: : Vascular surgeons at Ford Hospital perform procedures to treat conditions affecting blood vessels outside the heart, including carotid endarterectomy, peripheral artery bypass grafting, and vascular stenting.
