Cath lab and treadmill test machine installed at AIIMS Mangalagiri
The system is known for offering unparalleled image clarity, real-time 3D navigation, and advanced software integration, all while reducing radiation exposure.
According to a release from the hospital, the new system, installed at a cost of ₹11 crore, reduces the need for patients to travel long distances for high-end cardiac and neurovascular procedures.
Executive Director, AIIMS Mangalagiri, Ahanthem Santa Singh said that the advanced system positions the institution at the forefront of cardiovascular care. It allows them to offer world-class diagnostic and interventional services while improving safety, accuracy, and outcomes for our patients, Dr. Singh added.
The institute also installed a Treadmill Test (TMT) machine in its cardiology department. This non-invasive diagnostic tool plays a crucial role in the early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and assessment of cardiac fitness and exercise tolerance, according to the release.
The TMT, also known as a stress test or exercise ECG, allows cardiologists to evaluate the heart's performance under physical stress, aiding in the timely diagnosis and management of ischemic heart disease, rhythm disorders, and exercise-induced symptoms.
