Cardiology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiologists evaluate, diagnose and treat many conditions related to the cardiovascular system. As Enodia Health, we are committed to providing the best care to our patients with our teams specialized in cardiology and modern diagnostic methods.
Examinations and Tests in the Field of Cardiology
- Electrocardiography (ECG): It is a test used to evaluate heart rhythm and electrical activity. Electrodes measure the heart's electrical activity and record ECG waves.
- Echocardiography (ECHO): It is a test that uses ultrasonic waves to examine heart structure, function and blood flow. ECHO provides information about the heart valves, heart muscle, and heart chambers.
- Stress Test: It is a test performed to evaluate heart functions during exercise. Heart rhythm, blood pressure and breathing rate are measured using a treadmill or medication.
- Coronary Angiography: It is an imaging test used to evaluate narrowing or blockage of the heart vessels (coronary arteries). Contrast material is injected through a catheter to visualize the veins.
- Holter Monitoring: It is a test in which the heart rhythm is recorded continuously for up to 24 hours. This test helps detect rare rhythm disorders.
Cardiology Application Areas
- Coronary Artery Disease: It is a condition that occurs as a result of blockage or narrowing of the heart vessels. Cardiologists evaluate coronary artery disease risk factors and determine appropriate treatment plans.
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): High blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular health. Cardiologists evaluate the causes of hypertension and make treatment recommendations to control blood pressure.
- Heart Rhythm Disorders: Heart arrhythmias may include irregular or fast heartbeats. Cardiologists diagnose heart rhythm disorders and evaluate appropriate treatment options.
- Heart failure: Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood. Cardiologists determine the causes of heart failure and create treatment plans to control the progression of the disease.
- Heart Valve Diseases: Narrowing or leaks in the heart valves can lead to heart valve diseases. Cardiologists evaluate heart valve disease and recommend appropriate surgical or medical treatment options.
Cardiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. As Enodia Health, we aim to provide the best care to our patients with our expertise and experience in cardiology. Our cardiologists evaluate our patients' health status, determine appropriate treatment plans, and recommend preventive measures to protect cardiovascular health.
