1. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.
ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.
ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.
The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.
Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.
2. Geriatric Care
Geriatric care focuses on the health and well-being of elderly patients, addressing their unique medical and lifestyle needs.
Services include routine check-ups, chronic disease management, medication management, mental health support, and physical therapy.
Elderly individuals experiencing age-related health issues or those needing comprehensive care for chronic conditions should consider geriatric care.
Look for providers with specialised training in geriatrics, experience with elderly patients, and a comprehensive approach to care.
Benefits include improved quality of life, better management of chronic conditions, preventive care, and support for mental and emotional health.
3. By Pass Surgery
Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a procedure to replace damaged or blocked arteries in the heart with blood vessels from another part of the body.
Patients with severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked, may need bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.
A surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, or chest and connects it to the blocked coronary artery, bypassing the blocked section to improve blood flow.
Risks include infection, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and reactions to anaesthesia, though serious complications are rare.
The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed and the patient’s condition.
