Non-invasive Diagnostic Services
Outpatient Diagnostic Non-invasive Services include:
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
The Kanbar features two Cardiac Catheterization laboratories for treating patients with blocked vessels or arteries, and helping to diagnose the causes of heart failure.
Catheterization Equipment:
The Integris Allura Biplane system is an advanced cardiac system for multiple biplane projections - for procedures where use of contrast medium or examination time is critical.
Electrophysiology Laboratory
The Kanbar features one Electrophysiology Laboratory for treating patients with irregular heartbeats through Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICD).
Even though the heart walls may be weak, CRT synchronizes the heartbeat, restoring the heart’s mechanical sequence and helping the heart walls to work rhythmically.
ICDs are small electronic devices installed inside the chest to treat patients who experience atrial fibrillation or those at risk for sudden death from abnormally fast heart rhythms. The ICD monitors the heart rhythm. When the heart is beating normally, the device remains inactive. If the heart develops a life-threatening rhythm, the ICD delivers an electrical shock to the heart to convert the rhythm from abnormal to normal. If necessary, ICDs can also function as pacemakers.
