Our Expertise

Our team of experienced cardiologists specializes in diagnosing and treating various heart conditions, including but not limited to:

• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): A condition where the arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked, potentially leading to heart attacks.
• Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that can cause complications if left untreated.
• Heart Failure: A condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
• Valvular Heart Disease: Problems with the heart valves that can affect blood flow and heart function.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Structural heart problems present at birth.
• Preventive Cardiology: Risk assessment, lifestyle guidance, and interventions to prevent heart disease.

Advanced Diagnostics

Our Cardiology Department is equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic tools and technologies to ensure accurate and timely assessments, including:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): A test to measure the electrical activity of the heart.
• Echocardiography: An ultrasound test that provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function.
• Stress Tests: Tests that monitor heart function under physical stress to assess for underlying cardiovascular issues.
• Cardiac MRI: A non-invasive imaging technique used to obtain detailed pictures of the heart.
• 24-hour Holter Monitoring: A portable ECG device worn by the patient to monitor heart rhythms continuously over 24 hours.
• Angiography: An imaging test that uses X-rays and a contrast dye to examine blood vessels in the heart.
