Cardiology


Heart conditions are the focus of the medical specialty known as cardiology. Cardiologists are medical professionals who specialized in this field. They have training in the management of cardiac conditions include valvular heart disease, congenital heart disease, infection, and heart failure. Numerous cardiovascular conditions necessitate specialised treatment and expert knowledge.

Cardiovascular diseases include deep venous thrombosis, peripheral arterial disease, aneurysm, vasculitis, and aneurysm, as well as cardiac disorders such as cardiac arrest, myocardial disorders, cardiomyopathy, pericardium disorders, including different types of pericarditis, valve disorders affecting the arterial, mitral, respiratory, and tricuspid valves, and congenital heart defects.

FAQs

Method for increasing the amount of blood that can flow through blood arteries that have become narrowed or obstructed.

Some individuals experience an abrupt cessation of blood flow to a specific area of their heart muscle. A clot in one of the heart muscle's three coronary arteries usually causes this. This results in damage to the cardiac muscle that depends on the particular coronary artery for its blood supply. This is referred to as a heart attack.

Blood-thinning medicine is given as soon as a heart attack is identified. Coronary angiography and primary coronary angioplasty are the only effective treatments for a heart attack, restoring blood flow to the coronary artery that caused it.

There is no such thing as a permanent treatment for coronary blockages. A tiny percentage of individuals may experience bypass surgery failure very soon. Most often, bypass procedures can help patients feel better and extend their lives by over 10 to 15 years. Again, maintaining the procedure's durability depends heavily on lifestyle choices and following medical recommendations after bypass surgery.

Yes. Obesity and being overweight increase the chance of developing numerous cardiac issues. High blood pressure may result. Additionally, being overweight puts a person at higher risk for heart failure, irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, and atherosclerosis (cholesterol build-up in the arteries that causes blockages).
