Cardiology
The medical specialty known as card iology focuses on diagnosing and treating heart and blood vessel problems. At Medicana Hospitals, our cardiology departments are staffed by highly qualified and experienced cardiologists committed to offering top-notch care to patients with various cardiovascular problems. In this text, we'll look more closely at the services and therapies provided by our cardiology units and what makes them unique from other healthcare organizations.
Our cardiology departments are staffed by experts in various cardiovascular diseases and ailments and equipped with the most recent equipment. We provide various diagnostic services, including minimally invasive diagnostic techniques like cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology investigations and non-invasive tests like electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, stress testing, and angiography.
Along with lifestyle changes, medication administration, and necessary medical treatments, our team focuses on preventing and managing cardiovascular illnesses. We have extensive experience treating arrhythmias and provide a variety of interventional cardiology techniques, such as catheter ablation and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). We offer comprehensive heart failure management for patients with the condition, including tools like cardiac resynchronization therapy and implanted cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) (CRT).
We provide our patients and their families competent care and a nurturing environment. Thanks to our multidisciplinary approach to care, every patient receives an individualized treatment plan that considers their particular needs and circumstances. Our cardiology departments also provide a thorough cardiac rehabilitation program to assist patients in recovering from cardiovascular events and enhancing their heart health.
Diagnostic Services
Diagnostic services are essential in the care and treatment of individuals with heart-related diseases. Our cardiology units provide a wide range of diagnostic services to aid our team of skilled cardiologists in providing accurate patient diagnoses and care.
Our diagnostic offerings consist of the following:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) - An ECG is a quick and painless test that captures the heart's electrical activity and can be used to identify several cardiac diseases, such as irregular heartbeat and heart attacks.
- An echocardiogram (ECHO) is an ultrasound procedure that produces heart images to help examine its composition, efficiency, and blood circulation. This test can diagnose numerous cardiac disorders, such as valve issues, heart abnormalities, and heart failure.
- Stress testing - During this exam, you'll ride a bike or a treadmill while connected to ECG equipment. It aids in diagnosing cardiac diseases, including blockages in the coronary arteries, and allows the doctor to see how the heart reacts to physical exercise.
- Coronary angiography: This invasive procedure includes injecting a particular dye into the coronary arteries to identify blockages and decide the most effective treatment.
- Cardiac catheterization: This invasive technique includes putting a catheter into the heart to detect and treat various cardiac diseases, including coronary artery blockages, issues with the heart's valves, and irregular heartbeats.
Prevention and Management of Cardiovascular Diseases
Our cardiology facilities' treatment must include preventing and managing cardiovascular disorders. Cardiologists and their staff work to inform patients about modifying risk factors and leading a healthier lifestyle to delay the onset and progression of cardiovascular illnesses. This can involve quitting smoking, maintaining a nutritious diet, engaging in regular exercise, reducing stress, and managing diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
Our cardiology units offer a variety of preventive and treatment therapies to help patients attain optimal heart health and lifestyle adjustments. These can include medical management, such as issuing prescription drugs to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and more cutting-edge therapies, such as cardiac rehabilitation, which aids patients in recovering from heart attacks, operations, and other cardiac events.
Our cardiology units also use modern diagnostic tools to track the development of cardiovascular disorders, spot early warning signals, and choose the best course of action for each patient. By combining preventative measures, management strategies, and diagnostic services, we can offer our patients complete and efficient care to prevent and control cardiovascular illnesses.
Treatment of Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias are irregular heartbeats resulting in symptoms such as palpitations, breathlessness, chest pain, and dizziness. Our team of knowledgeable cardiologists treats arrhythmias in-depth in our cardiology departments, helping patients control their symptoms and lower the risk of complications.
We provide a variety of therapies, such as:
- Medications - We prescribe medications to control heart rate, avoid blood clots, or lower the risk of arrhythmias.
- Catheter ablation: In this minimally invasive technique, tiny pockets of cardiac tissue that are the source of arrhythmias are destroyed using radiofrequency energy.
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) – These tiny devices deliver electrical shocks to regulate heart rhythm. They are inserted beneath the skin.
- Pacemakers are tiny devices that send electrical impulses to the heart to help control heart rhythm.
- Surgical operations - In some situations, it may be essential to have surgery to treat specific arrhythmias, such as to fix heart valve issues or remove extra heart tissue.
Our cardiology divisions employ the most up-to-date tools and methods for diagnosing and treating arrhythmias. Our skilled cardiologists work closely with patients to create individualized treatment regimens tailored to their requirements. International patients can rely on our cardiology units to provide high-quality, efficient treatment for arrhythmias because of our dedication to providing excellent patient care.
Interventional Cardiology
A specialized branch of cardiology called interventional cardiology focuses on employing minimally invasive techniques to identify and treat heart problems. Our cardiology units provide patients with cutting-edge interventional cardiology procedures that enable successful and quick treatment. The newest technology and tools are available to our team of skilled cardiologists and support personnel for performing treatments like angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy, which are used to return the heart's normal blood flow. These operations require the insertion of a catheter that is guided to the location of the blockage through a tiny incision in the wrist or groin while being carried out under local anesthetic. Compared to standard surgery, interventional cardiology procedures have many advantages, such as quicker recovery times, less discomfort, and a lower risk of problems. Our cardiology units prioritize patient safety and comfort, ensuring that each patient receives the best care and results.
Heart Failure Management
The cardiology units at Medicana prioritize the management of heart failure in their patient care. Together with patients and their families, our highly qualified and experienced cardiologists create tailored treatment regimens that address each patient's unique needs and objectives. Our staff uses the most recent diagnostic techniques to assist patients in managing the signs and symptoms of heart failure and enhancing their quality of life.
We recognize that heart failure may be complicated, and we are committed to providing our patients with kind and efficient care. Our team of experts regularly monitors each patient's health, modifies medicines as necessary, and offers continuing support and direction to help patients manage their symptoms and avoid hospitalization.
To help manage heart failure and prevent problems, our cardiology facilities also provide a range of cutting-edge treatments and therapies, including prescription drugs, implanted devices, and advanced surgical procedures. Every step of the way, our patients can rely on us to be there for them, providing specialized treatment, support, and direction to help them achieve the highest possible health and quality of life.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is a crucial step in the treatment and recovery of those who have had heart-related problems. We provide thorough cardiac rehabilitation treatments at our cardiology facilities to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional health of patients who have had heart disease or a cardiac event, such as a heart attack or heart surgery.
Based on each patient's medical history, physical capabilities, and particular goals, our rehabilitation program is created and customized to match their specific needs. Our team of knowledgeable and experienced cardiac rehabilitation professionals collaborate with patients to develop a personalized plan that combines physical activity, educational opportunities, and dietary adjustments.
Cardiac rehabilitation helps patients rebuild their strength, lowers their chance of developing heart problems in the future, and generally enhances their health and quality of life. Our rehabilitation programs include supervised exercise sessions, stress reduction methods, and teaching on nutrition and lifestyle. Our team also offers support and encouragement to assist patients in reaching their objectives and implementing lifelong healthy changes.
Our cardiology units are dedicated to providing our patients with the best treatment and assistance during recovery. Cardiac rehabilitation is an essential part of comprehensive heart care.
Multidisciplinary Care
An approach to patient care known as multidisciplinary care entails cooperation and coordination amongst numerous healthcare providers with varying expertise. In the context of our cardiology units, multidisciplinary care refers to the team-based method of diagnosing, treating, and managing cardiovascular conditions involving cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, nurse practitioners, rehabilitation specialists, dietitians, and other medical professionals.
Multidisciplinary care aims to deliver complete, patient-centered care by combining the knowledge and viewpoints of several specialists to produce the most outstanding results for patients. This strategy allows for considering every facet of a patient's health, including their medical background, way of life, and particular requirements and objectives.
