Welcome to the Cardiology Department

What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. Our Cardiology Department is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with a variety of heart-related issues, ensuring they receive the best possible treatment and support.

Our goal is to improve heart health and enhance the quality of life for all our patients.

Common Heart Conditions We Treat:

  1. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): CAD occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become narrowed or blocked due to plaque buildup. This can lead to chest pain (angina) or heart attacks.
  2. Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): A heart attack happens when a part of the heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood due to a blocked artery. Immediate medical attention is crucial to minimize damage to the heart.
  3. Heart Failure: This condition occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles.
  4. Arrhythmias: Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. Some arrhythmias can be life-threatening and require immediate treatment.
  5. Valvular Heart Disease: This involves damage or dysfunction of one or more of the heart valves, which can affect blood flow through the heart and lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue

How We Diagnose Heart Conditions:

Accurate diagnosis is the first step in providing effective treatment for heart conditions. Our Cardiology Department offers a range of diagnostic tests and procedures to evaluate heart health, including:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart and helps identify abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions.
  • Echocardiogram: This ultrasound test uses sound waves to create images of the heart, allowing doctors to assess the structure and function of the heart and its valves.
  • Stress Test: A stress test evaluates how the heart performs under physical stress, typically using exercise or medication to increase the heart rate while monitoring ECG and blood pressure.
  • Cardiac Catheterization: This procedure involves inserting a thin tube (catheter) into a blood vessel and guiding it to the heart to examine the coronary arteries and measure pressures within the heart.
  • CT and MRI Scans: These imaging tests provide detailed views of the heart and blood vessels, helping to diagnose conditions such as blockages, heart muscle damage, and congenital heart defects.
