What is Cardiology?

The Cardiology Department focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart-related diseases and disorders. This includes conditions involving the heart, arteries, veins, and blood circulation. It plays a vital role in maintaining cardiovascular health and preventing life-threatening complications.

What Conditions Are Treated?

Cardiology covers a wide range of heart and blood vessel issues, including:

Chest pain (angina)
High or low blood pressure (hypertension/hypotension)
Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia or palpitations)
Shortness of breath or fatigue
Heart attacks and post-heart attack care
Congenital heart defects (heart problems from birth)
High cholesterol and blocked arteries
Swelling in legs due to heart failure

How Is Diagnosis Done?

Cardiologists use several modern tools and tests to diagnose heart conditions:

ECG (Electrocardiogram): Checks the heart’s rhythm and electrical activity
Echocardiogram (Echo): Ultrasound of the heart to see its structure and function
TMT (Treadmill Test): Measures heart performance under physical stress
Holter Monitor: 24-hour heart rhythm monitoring
Blood tests: For cholesterol, enzymes, and heart function markers
Angiography: Checks for blockages in the heart’s arteries (if needed)

How Is Treatment Given?

Medicines: For blood pressure, cholesterol, blood thinning, and heart rhythm control
Lifestyle Counseling: Diet, exercise, stress management, and smoking cessation
Procedures: In serious cases, the patient may need Angioplasty, Pacemaker, or Surgery
Long-term Monitoring: Regular checkups for patients with chronic heart disease
