Cardiology

• 2D Echo: A type of ultrasound used to evaluate heart function and detect abnormalities.
• Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Records the electrical activity of the heart to identify heart issues.
• Echocardiogram: Uses sound waves to create images of the heart, helping assess heart function and structure.
• Stress Tests: Measures the heart's ability to respond to external stress in a controlled environment.
• Cardiac Catheterization: A procedure to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions by inserting a catheter into the heart.

Development of treatment plans for conditions like hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular disorders.

• Interventional Cardiology: Procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement to treat blockages in the heart's arteries.
• Electrophysiology: Diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) using techniques like ablation and the implantation of pacemakers or defibrillators.
• Heart Failure Management: Comprehensive care for patients with heart failure, including medication management, lifestyle modifications, and advanced therapies like ventricular assist devices (VADs) or heart transplantation.

The Cardiology department plays a crucial role in promoting heart health, preventing cardiovascular disease, and providing advanced care for patients with heart conditions. Cardiologists work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure that patients receive personalized, comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs.
