What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the heart and the cardiovascular system. This includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology.

Our cardiology services focus on comprehensive heart care, from preventive measures to advanced treatments for complex cardiac conditions. We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and treatment methods to provide personalized care for each patient.

Conditions Treated in Cardiology

We diagnose and treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, including:

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) and angina
  • Heart attacks (myocardial infarction)
  • Heart failure
  • Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
  • Valvular heart disease
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Congenital heart defects
  • Cardiomyopathy
  • Peripheral artery disease
  • Atherosclerosis

Diagnostic Tests in Cardiology

We offer comprehensive diagnostic services to accurately assess heart health:

  1. Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Records electrical activity of the heart
  2. Echocardiogram: Ultrasound of the heart to assess structure and function
  3. Stress Testing: Evaluates heart function during exercise
  4. Holter Monitoring: Continuous ECG recording for 24-48 hours
  5. Cardiac CT/MRI: Advanced imaging of heart structure and blood vessels
  6. Coronary Angiography: X-ray imaging of blood vessels using contrast dye
  7. Blood Tests: To check cholesterol, enzymes, and other cardiac markers

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a cardiologist?

You should consider seeing a cardiologist if you experience symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations, or swelling in your legs. Additionally, if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, family history of heart disease, or if you're a smoker, regular cardiology check-ups are recommended even without symptoms.

What's the difference between a cardiologist and cardiac surgeon?

A cardiologist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating heart conditions medically (with medications and non-surgical procedures). A cardiac surgeon performs surgical procedures on the heart. Cardiologists often manage patients before and after surgery, while surgeons perform the actual operations.

How often should I get my heart checked?

For healthy adults with no risk factors, a baseline cardiac evaluation in your 20s followed by check-ups every 4-5 years is recommended. After age 40, or if you have risk factors, annual check-ups are advisable. Your doctor may recommend more frequent monitoring if you have existing heart conditions or multiple risk factors.

Can heart disease be reversed?

While advanced heart disease can't be completely reversed, early-stage conditions and risk factors can often be significantly improved or controlled through lifestyle changes and proper medical treatment. Aggressive management of diet, exercise, stress, and medications can halt progression and sometimes improve heart function.

What are the warning signs of a heart attack?

Common warning signs include chest discomfort (pressure, squeezing, or pain), pain in other upper body areas (arms, back, neck, jaw), shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness. Symptoms can vary between individuals, especially between men and women. Women may experience more subtle symptoms like fatigue, indigestion, or anxiety.
