The Cardiology Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart and vascular diseases. Cardiologists play a vital role in maintaining cardiovascular health, managing chronic conditions, and performing life-saving interventions when necessary. Our department combines advanced technology with medical expertise to provide comprehensive care for patients of all ages.

 

 

Cardiology is a broad field that addresses both preventive and interventional care, including:

Diagnosing heart rhythm disorders, heart valve problems, and congenital heart defects.

Managing chronic conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and coronary artery disease.

Performing advanced imaging and diagnostic tests like echocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG), and stress tests.

Providing emergency care for heart attacks and life-threatening arrhythmias.

Offering lifestyle guidance to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart.

 

Heart Failure: A condition in which the heart cannot pump blood effectively.

Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that may require medication or device implantation.

Valvular Heart Disease: Problems affecting the heart valves that may need surgical or catheter-based interventions.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): A leading risk factor for heart attack and stroke.

Congenital Heart Defects: Structural abnormalities present at birth.

Diagnostic and Treatment Methods

Our cardiology team uses state-of-the-art techniques to provide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment:

 

Non-Invasive Diagnostics

Echocardiography (ECHO)

Electrocardiography (ECG)

Exercise stress test

Holter monitoring

Invasive Diagnostics & Treatments

Cardiac catheterization and angiography

Coronary angioplasty and stent placement

Electrophysiological studies for arrhythmias

Pacemaker and defibrillator implantation

Preventive Cardiology

 

Heart disease can often be prevented or delayed with the right lifestyle choices. Our department emphasizes:

 

Risk assessment and screening programs

Nutrition and exercise counseling

Smoking cessation support

Cholesterol and blood pressure management

 

Our cardiology specialists work closely with emergency and intensive care units to provide immediate treatment for acute cardiac events such as heart attacks and cardiac arrest. Rapid diagnosis and intervention are critical for saving lives and minimizing damage to the heart muscle.

 

1.⁠ ⁠What are the warning signs of a heart attack?

Common symptoms include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, and pain radiating to the arm, jaw, or back. Immediate medical attention is required.

2.⁠ ⁠How can I reduce my risk of heart disease?

By maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, managing stress, and having regular check-ups with your cardiologist.

3.⁠ ⁠Are heart problems hereditary?

Yes, family history plays a role. People with a family history of heart disease should be monitored closely and adopt preventive measures early.

4.⁠ ⁠How often should I get my heart checked?

For healthy adults, routine check-ups every 1–2 years are recommended. Patients with risk factors (such as hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol) should visit their cardiologist more frequently.
