Cardiovascular Medicine at True Life Hospital

At True Life Hospital, our Cardiovascular Medicine Department is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with heart and vascular conditions. With a team of highly skilled cardiologists and advanced diagnostic technologies, we offer a full range of services to diagnose, treat, and manage cardiovascular diseases. Whether you are dealing with high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, or heart failure, our goal is to deliver personalized care that improves heart health and enhances quality of life.

Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, affecting millions of people each year. Our Cardiovascular Medicine Department provides expert care for a wide array of heart and vascular conditions, including heart attacks, arrhythmias, hypertension, and peripheral artery disease. We offer preventive care, early diagnosis, and state-of-the-art treatments to help our patients maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system.

Preventive Cardiology

Preventing cardiovascular disease is a cornerstone of our approach at True Life Hospital. We emphasize the importance of heart health through lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, and smoking cessation. Our preventive cardiology services include comprehensive risk assessments, cholesterol management, blood pressure control, and screening for conditions such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. By addressing risk factors early, we aim to reduce the likelihood of heart disease and related complications.

Cardiac Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Our Cardiovascular Medicine Department is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to assess heart function and identify cardiovascular conditions. We offer a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive tests, including electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms, stress tests, Holter monitoring, and cardiac CT and MRI. These diagnostic tests allow us to detect issues such as blocked arteries, heart valve problems, and abnormal heart rhythms.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Management

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common cardiovascular conditions, characterized by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. At True Life Hospital, we provide comprehensive care for patients with CAD, including medical management, lifestyle counseling, and, when necessary, interventional procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement. Our goal is to restore blood flow to the heart, alleviate symptoms, and prevent heart attacks.

Heart Failure Treatment

Heart failure is a chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling. Our cardiologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of heart failure, offering personalized treatment plans that may include medications, lifestyle changes, and advanced therapies such as implantable devices. We also provide ongoing monitoring and support to help patients manage their condition and maintain a good quality of life.

Arrhythmia Diagnosis and Treatment

Arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms, can range from benign to life-threatening. Our Cardiovascular Medicine Department offers comprehensive care for patients with arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardia. We provide diagnostic services such as Holter monitoring and electrophysiology studies, as well as treatment options that include medications, catheter ablation, and pacemaker or defibrillator implantation.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Care

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the limbs become narrowed or blocked. This condition can lead to pain, ulcers, and even amputation if not treated. Our cardiologists offer specialized care for PAD, including diagnostic testing, medical management, and interventional procedures such as angioplasty. We work closely with patients to improve circulation, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications.

Advanced Cardiac Interventions

For patients with advanced cardiovascular disease, we offer a range of interventional procedures and surgeries to restore heart function and improve outcomes. Our Cardiovascular Medicine Department is equipped with state-of-the-art catheterization labs where we perform procedures such as coronary angiography, angioplasty, stent placement, and valve repairs. We also collaborate with our Cardiothoracic Surgery team for more complex surgical interventions when necessary.

Do You Have any Query?

Frequently Asked Questiones

A1: The Cardiovascular Medicine Department treats a wide range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, peripheral artery disease, and valvular heart disease.
A2: Common signs of heart disease include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, and swelling in the legs or feet. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
A3: You can reduce your risk by adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
A4: A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, leading to tissue damage. Heart failure, on the other hand, is a chronic condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. Both conditions are serious and require medical attention.
A6: Coronary artery disease is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as ECG, echocardiogram, stress tests, and cardiac catheterization. These tests help assess the extent of artery blockage and heart function.
A7: Treatment options for arrhythmias include medications, lifestyle changes, catheter ablation, and the implantation of devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, depending on the type and severity of the arrhythmia.
A8: Managing heart failure involves a combination of medications, lifestyle modifications, and monitoring. In some cases, advanced therapies such as implantable devices (e.g., pacemakers, defibrillators) or heart transplantation may be necessary. Regular follow-ups with a cardiologist are crucial..
A9: Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions. During the procedure, a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart. Contrast dye is used to visualize the arteries, and if necessary, treatments like angioplasty or stent placement can be performed. The procedure typically lasts about an hour, and most patients can return home the same day.
