FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) test in Hyderabad is an interventional procedure which is done in the cath lab during a coronary angiogram. A guided wire is sent in to the affected part to distinctly measure the blood pressure in that part of the artery. FFR is essentially the ratio between the maximum flow through the affected area and the theoretical or normal maximum value of the flow in that area. The FFR value is an effective indicator for interventional cardiologists in Hyderabad to determine if an angioplasty or stent placement needs to be performed in borderline lesions.
Many a times, patients do not experience symptoms due to heart blocks if the blockage is at a lower level, in such situations identifying and pin pointing a blockage during diagnostic evaluation might tempt the patient to go for a stent, however the FFR value better guides the specialist at FFR testing hospitals in Madinaguda as well as patient if there is genuinely a need for interventional procedure at this point or not. Using FFR methods, specialist can make out if a particular stenosis (block) can cause clots later on or not.
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is another cutting edge diagnostic cardiac procedure used in the cardiac cath lab. In a standard CT, the sound waves would be used, however with respect to OCT, it uses light wave. It creates an image of the arteries in such a precise way similar to how they would look under a microscope. OCT gives the feasibility to the specialists to even look inside the arteries to a detail of 10 times more than the standard ultra sound procedure. OCT can be used prior to or with angioplasty to guide the placement of the stent, Also once the stent is placed, specialists can check position of the stent and expansion of the stent.
