Department of Cardiology

Cardiology is the study and treatment of disorders of the
heart; it is a medical specialty which is involved in the care of all
things associated with the heart and the arteries. A cardiologist is not
the same as a cardiac surgeon - the cardiac surgeon opens the chest and
performs heart surgery, a cardiologist, on the other hand, carries out
tests and procedures, such as angioplasty.

Heart disease differs from cardiovascular disease, in that the latter
refers to disorders and illnesses of the heart and blood vessels, while
the former is only concerned with the heart.

In the 'Interventional Cardiology' department of SRIKARA, the
facilities like Angiography, Angioplasty and Pacemaker Implantations are
carried out on regular basis at the CATH LAB. The department is
spearheaded by Dr. R. Sreekanth Reddy, Interventional Cardiologist, ably
supported by Dr. Johann Christopher and Dr. Monica Dillikar.
