The heart is one of the most important organs in our body, and its healthy functioning is of vital importance. However, heart diseases can arise due to various factors, and these diseases can seriously affect quality of life. The cardiology department deals with the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases, enabling patients to live with a healthy heart.
Coronary Artery Disease: Diseases caused by narrowing or blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. These diseases can increase the risk of heart attack.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): A condition in which blood pressure is higher than normal. Long-term hypertension can lead to heart and vascular diseases.
Heart Failure: This is a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood. Left ventricular failure is the most common type and can cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing.
Arrhythmias: These are abnormal changes in the heart rhythm. These conditions can cause palpitations, fainting, and even sudden death.
Congenital Heart Disease: These are heart abnormalities present at birth. They include conditions such as atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD).
