Equipment

Cardiac Ultrasound Lab

Buying an ultrasound machine in the heart unit that works with the latest technology, as it is distinguished by seeing the catheters on the device screen, at a cost of approximately 3 million pounds, for the year 2020.
It contains three of the latest ultrasound machines, and each device includes normal, color and tissue Doppler, and a two-dimensional heart examination.

Each device includes a multi-level probe to examine the heart through the esophagus.

Heart Catheterization Laboratory

It is one of the most modern devices and the first device in Mansoura University Hospitals, as it is equipped with two arms that move on two different levels, which helps to examine the heart from different angles.
Attached to the cardiac catheterization unit is a heart electrophysiology device, by which abnormal pathways can be identified, which are cauterized by a special device, as well as any active electrical focus that results in an imbalance in the heartbeat.

Electrocardiogram Laboratory:

It contains 4 high-tech electrocardiographs to serve patients attending the pediatric cardiology unit.

The laboratory contains the most modern 24-hour electrocardiograph (Holter) devices, and follows up any electrical abnormalities in the heart. About 250 cases have been made.

Heart examination laboratory through an exercise cardiogram machine

It contains two of the most modern devices currently in Egypt. It is also equipped with very high technology to measure the heart muscle under different and escalating degrees of effort. This laboratory helps in diagnosing heart conditions resulting from a defect in the aortic or pulmonary valve, as well as hypertrophic diseases Heart muscle, left ventricle, and diseases resulting from electrocardiogram and coronary artery insufficiency.
