Overview
Cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on treating heart-related illnesses.
Our cariologists are well equipped to diagnose and treat various heart conditions,
including congenital heart disease, heart infections, heart failure, valvular heart
disease, and infarctions.
There are a variety of cardiovascular disorders that require individualized attention
and specialized medical expertise to effectively manage.
These conditions include
acute coronary syndrome, atherosclerosis, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease,
restenosis, cardiac arrest, myocardial disorders (cardiomyopathy), and pericardial
disorders (pericarditis). Additionally, cardiologists are skilled in managing various
heart valve diseases, such as aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid valve diseases,
as well as congenital heart defects, like atrial or ventricular septal defects.
They also
manage vascular diseases such as deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, aneurysm,
vasculitis, and others.
Cardiologists are not limited to surgical treatment modalities but also have expertise
in using devices such as balloons, defibrillators, pacemakers, and stethoscopes to
diagnose and treat various heart ailments.
Cardiologists utilize a range of strategies to combat cardiovascular diseases, such
as percutaneous coronary intervention, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty,
coronary artery bypass surgery, and stenting.
To diagnose these conditions, cardiologists use several diagnostic methods such as
computed tomography (CT scans), cardiac stress tests, echocardiography,
electrocardiography, blood tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.
Becoming a qualified cardiologist requires more than ten years of education and
training, including internal medicine and specialized programs.
After receiving their
licensure and certification, cardiologists practice in private or public hospitals or
start their own private clinics
