Cardiovascular cartography (CCG)

Cardiovascular Cartography (CCG) is new non-invasive method to measure heart’s blood flow, oxygen supply etc. Also. this test provides useful data that the doctor can use to evaluate the patient’s circulatory condition and response to therapies, as well as to create rehabilitation programs. This diagnostic tool is an essential tool in the early detection of ischemic heart disease in young patients.


What is Cardiovascular cartography?

Measurements of the blood flow to different parts of the heart are perform using cartography. The volume of blood flow indicates the condition of the blood vessels, the presence of blockages, the heart’s ability to pump blood, as well as the narrowness or hardness of the vessels.


Procedure of Cardiovascular cartography

A painless, non-invasive diagnostic procedure also known as Cardiovascular Cartography doesn’t require you to stay at the clinic. The Trans-Aortic Signal Wave Modulation (TASWM) test, which uses this technology, is regard as one of the most advanced techniques for determining cardiovascular health.


Following elements are ultimately determine by the test:

  • Cardiac output: the volume of blood that the heart pumps in a minute
  • Systemic cardiovascular resistance: The resistance that the heart needs to cope with while pumping blood
  • Stroke Blood volume: Blood volume during a stroke is the volume of blood that is pumped out with each heartbeat.
  • The volumetric portion of blood that is eject from the heart with each beating is known as the “ejection fraction.”


Indications:

  • Anyone above the age of thirty who leads a stressful lifestyle.
  • Family history of heart disease.
  • High cholesterol and lipid (fat) profile.
  • Has had a pacemaker, undergone a PTCA, stenting, or a CABG operation.
  • Those who had heart attacks and are receiving treatment.

Benefits

  • Non-invasive method
  • No discomfort, no sedation, and no catheterization
  • Unlike angiography, it has no “after effects” and creates no physical or mental stress.
  • There is no hospitalization
  •  It shows the blood flow, oxygen requirements, and demand of the heart’s myocardium (heart muscle).
  • provides comprehensive cardiac data for therapy monitoring and comparison in the future.

The EARLY WARNING SYSTEM used in this technique’s investigation in many regions of the world and “Mass Screening” has assisted thousands of people in preventing heart attacks.

What is the cost of cardiovascular cartography?

The cost of Cardiovascular Cartography is just Rs 3000 – Rs 4000. Comparatively speaking, CCG can identify cardiovascular blocks as early as 10% of the blocks, while angiograms are three to four times more expensive and useful in circumstances where there are more than 40% of the blocks.


Cardiovascular Cartography (CCG) is the best option to avoid bypass surgery.
