THE CONCEPT OF METRO CORONARY SCREENING

This involves the coronary angiography with a thin catheter from Wrist or Elbow, Echocardiography & Blood Studies. It takes 3-4 minutes and the person can go back to work in less than one hour. During the years of 1998 when this concept was developed, the patients use to be very much afraid of the word of coronary angiography which involves hospitalization. With this concept the person doesn’t have to take off the cloths, no preparation required, since we use less than 10cc die under high pressure following the principle of fluid dynamics. Since, 1998 more than 35000 procedures have been performed at Metro Heart Institute Noida, with 100% success rate. In very selected group of cases the angioplasty with stenting can be done through the same rout and the patient can be discharged in less than 2 hours.
