Heart Failure Management and ECMO Support

Heart Failure Management and ECMO Support

Heart failure is a serious condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. Dr. Pradheep K. Rachakonda, a leading cardiac surgeon in Hyderabad, specializes in comprehensive heart failure management and advanced ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) support, providing critical care for patients with severe cardiac dysfunction.

Dr. Pradheep offers a multidisciplinary approach, combining medication management, lifestyle optimization, and surgical interventions to stabilize heart function and improve patient outcomes. For patients with advanced or acute heart failure, he provides ECMO support, a life-saving technique that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs, ensuring adequate oxygenation and circulation during critical periods.

ECMO is particularly crucial for patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery, cardiogenic shock, or severe respiratory complications, including those affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Pradheep is highly experienced in both VA (veno-arterial) and VV (veno-venous) ECMO, tailoring the support to each patient’s unique needs for maximum safety and efficacy.

At his Hyderabad cardiac clinic, Dr. Pradheep integrates advanced monitoring, critical care expertise, and personalized treatment plans to ensure optimal recovery. His global training at the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic, USA equips him with the latest ECMO protocols and heart failure strategies, which he applies in India with precision and care.

In addition to life-saving interventions, Dr. Pradheep emphasizes long-term heart failure management, including preventive care, medication optimization, and minimally invasive procedures when appropriate. His approach ensures that patients not only survive critical episodes but also regain strength, mobility, and a better quality of life.
