Speciality Areas and Treatments

Dr Swapan Kumar Saha offers comprehensive interventional and non-interventional cardiac care for patients across Siliguri and North Bengal.

Interventional Cardiology: Angiography and Angioplasty

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) require precise diagnosis and timely intervention to restore blood flow and prevent further cardiac damage. Dr Saha independently performs the full range of coronary interventions:

• Coronary Angiography for diagnosis of coronary artery disease
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) / Angioplasty for coronary blockages
• Primary PCI for STEMI
• Drug-Eluting Stent Placement
• Rotablation in PCI for complex calcified lesions
• Coronary Artery Ectasia management

Pacemaker Implantation

Conditions such as complete heart block, sick sinus syndrome, symptomatic bradyarrhythmia, and atrioventricular (AV) block cause dangerously slow or irregular heart rhythms that require pacemaker support to maintain normal cardiac function. Dr S K Saha performs pacemaker implantation for patients requiring long-term cardiac rhythm support:

• Temporary Pacemaker Implantation
• Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (single and dual chamber)
• Pacemaker follow-up and programming

Heart Failure Management

Chronic heart failure, acute decompensated heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and diastolic dysfunction require expert long-term management to improve quality of life and reduce hospitalisation risk. Dr Saha provides evidence-based heart failure care with monitoring strategies proven to reduce re-hospitalisation:

• Heart Failure diagnosis and medical therapy optimisation
• Diastolic Dysfunction evaluation and management
• Dilated and Peripartum Cardiomyopathy management
• Weight Monitoring Protocols to reduce re-hospitalisation
• Acute Decompensated Heart Failure stabilisation

Hypertension and Blood Pressure Management

Hypertension, resistant hypertension, and hypertensive heart disease are among the most common yet undertreated conditions causing long-term damage to the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels. Dr Swapan Kumar Saha provides comprehensive hypertension management with a focus on risk factor modification and evidence-based pharmacotherapy:

• Hypertension Diagnosis and risk stratification
• Antihypertensive Therapy optimisation
• Resistant Hypertension management
• Hypertensive Heart Disease monitoring and treatment
• Cholesterol and Lipid Management

Arrhythmia and Palpitation Management

Atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia, and premature ventricular complexes (PVC) can cause palpitations, dizziness, breathlessness, and an increased risk of stroke if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Dr Saha evaluates and manages the full spectrum of cardiac rhythm disorders:

• Cardiac Arrhythmia diagnosis and medical management
• Atrial Fibrillation rate and rhythm control
• Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) management
• Palpitation evaluation and treatment

Echocardiography and Advanced Cardiac Imaging

Accurate non-invasive assessment is essential for diagnosing valvular heart disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension, pericardial effusion, and wall motion abnormalities. Dr S K Saha utilises advanced cardiac imaging for precise diagnosis and treatment planning:

• Echocardiography (2D, Doppler, and Stress Echo)
• Nuclear Cardiology (trained at AIIMS, New Delhi)
• Stress Testing for ischaemia assessment
• Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) evaluation
• RV Function Assessment including tissue Doppler imaging

Preventive Cardiology

Patients at high cardiovascular risk due to diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, or family history of coronary artery disease benefit significantly from early preventive intervention before a cardiac event occurs. Dr Swapan Saha is committed to preventive cardiology and lifestyle-based risk reduction:

• Cardiovascular Risk Stratification
• Microalbuminuria Assessment for coronary artery disease risk in non-diabetics
• Lipid and Cholesterol Management
• Serum Uric Acid Assessment in acute coronary syndrome
• Lifestyle Modification counselling for long-term heart health
