Zulekha Hospital's Cardiac Sciences division has made strides in Dubai and Sharjah this year, investing heavily in cutting-edge imaging technology and expanding its roster of minimally invasive cardiac surgery options. These enhancements signal the hospital's dedication to delivering internationally recognized heart care across the UAE.
A focal point of the investment is the Philips Azurion 7 C20 FlexArm Release 3, a high-tech angiography system introduced at Zulekha Hospital Sharjah. Its eight-axis rotational gantry allows physicians remarkable flexibility in positioning and accessing patients, while delivering top-notch imaging at minimal radiation exposure for patients and staff alike.
The integrated software suite includes tools for precise device placement, automatic cardiac anatomy segmentation, and real-time 3D fusion of images during structural heart interventions. Similar upgrades have bolstered cath lab capabilities at the Dubai branch, ensuring consistency in care quality.
In parallel, Zulekha Hospital has embraced minimally invasive cardiac surgery, performed through small incisions to minimize surgical trauma, reduce hospital stays, and speed up patient recoveries. This approach is ideal for complex procedures involving valve repair, coronary bypass, and other cardiac surgeries. A multidisciplinary team of specialists spearheads this surgical programme.
Led by experienced Dr Mohamed Ahmed Helmy, the team comprises expert interventional and clinical cardiologists, specialized in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, robotic heart surgeries, and thoracic surgeries; interventional cardiologists; cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons; cardio vascular surgeons; and pediatric cardiology specialists.
Together, they collaborate to provide comprehensive care from diagnosis to surgery and recovery, now backed by the region's most advanced imaging technology.
Looking ahead, Zulekha Hospital's Cardiac Sciences programme will continue to tackle increasingly intricate cases, from routine angioplasty to advanced structural heart repairs, prioritizing patient safety, faster recovery, and long-term cardiac health for the communities it serves.
