At Srinidhi Heart and Child Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of pericardial disease, a condition affecting the pericardium, the sac surrounding the heart. Led by Dr. V Sravan Kumar, our experienced team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care aimed at alleviating symptoms, managing complications, and improving overall heart health for our patients.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Thorough Diagnostic Assessment: We utilize advanced imaging techniques and diagnostic tests to accurately diagnose pericardial disease and determine its underlying cause.

Echocardiogram: A non-invasive ultrasound test that evaluates the structure and function of the heart, including the pericardium, to detect abnormalities such as pericardial effusion or thickening.

Cardiac MRI: An imaging technique that provides detailed images of the heart and pericardium, helping to assess the extent and severity of pericardial disease.

Pericardiocentesis: A procedure to remove excess fluid from the pericardial sac for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, providing valuable information about the underlying cause of pericardial effusion.

Treatment Options

Medication Management: Prescription of medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, or corticosteroids, to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with pericardial disease.

Pericardiectomy: In cases of constrictive pericarditis or chronic recurrent pericarditis unresponsive to medical therapy, surgical removal of the pericardium may be necessary to relieve symptoms and improve heart function.

Ongoing Care and Support

Regular Follow-ups: Scheduled visits to monitor symptoms, assess treatment effectiveness, and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

Patient Education: Providing comprehensive information about pericardial disease, including its causes, symptoms, treatment options, and potential complications. Empowering patients with knowledge about lifestyle modifications, medication adherence, and self-care strategies to manage their condition effectively.

Emotional Support: Offering emotional support and counseling to patients and their families, helping them cope with the challenges of living with a chronic cardiac condition.

Our goal is to alleviate symptoms, improve heart function, and enhance the overall quality of life for our patients.
