The branch of medicine known as cardiology focuses on treating conditions that affect the heart, such as congenital heart disease and acquired heart disorders. Cardiologists diagnose and treat these conditions. They are also responsible for managing the various procedures involved in the treatment.
Although heart diseases and complications can be life-threatening, they are usually preventable. Being physically active and taking good care of your heart can help improve your chances of having a strong heart.
Heart diseases can be either congenital or acquired diseases with a variety of cardiovascular conditions such as:
If you are experiencing or have in the past experienced any of these conditions, it is recommended that you make an appointment to visit the nearest cardiologist:
Although there are many causes of chest pain, it is usually triggered by a lack of oxygen. Having pain that is aggravated by exertion can be a sign that the heart is not getting enough oxygen. A cardiologist can diagnose and treat this condition.
A cardiologist can determine if a heart condition causes these symptoms. For instance, if a person has an irregular heart rhythm, they may have coronary artery disease, diseases of the heart valves or heart failure.
High blood sugar levels can lead to a build-up of plaque in the coronary arteries, thus leading to coronary artery disease. A cardiologist and a primary care physician can work together to develop a treatment plan to reduce the risk of developing this condition.
A cardiologist can also identify hereditary heart diseases, which can lead to conditions such as heart failure. They can suggest appropriate treatment and prevention measures.
Getting active is beneficial for a person's health, as it can help reduce the risk of heart diseases and improve the quality of life. However, it is also possible to have harmful effects from exercise due to certain conditions. For people considering starting to exercise after a sedentary lifestyle due to medical or surgical conditions, it is essential to consult a cardiologist.
Although heart disease is a common term used to describe various heart conditions, it is not an isolated disease. At ParkCity Medical Centre (PMC), our cardiologists offer a wide range of services related to heart health. Some conditions they treat include heart attacks, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, heart failure and heart valve disorders.
During the evaluation process, the cardiologist uses various health screenings, medical assessments and diagnostic tests to diagnose and treat different heart conditions. These include the Electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiogram, Stress Test, Holter monitoring, CT Cardiac Angiogram and Cardiac MRI.
Besides these, the cardiologists at PMC also perform various procedures related to severe heart conditions. These include the procedure of coronary angiogram and angioplasty, placement of heart devices, such as Permanent Pacemaker (PPM), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT).
