CARDIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

The Cardiology Department has gained reputation for its dynamic and innovation in the diagnosis, investigation and treatment of patients with all forms of heart diseases, both generally encountered and complex cases

 

We provide the facilities are:

  • 12 Channel ECG
  • Echocardiography
  • Exercise Tolerance Test
  • ABPM
  • HOLTER

 

12 Channel ECG:

  • Portable ECG accurately records, stores and shares cardiac rhythms for diagnosis and care
  • Advanced analog / digital converter technology detects weak signals
  • Anti-noise technology and comprehensive filters for more accurate patient readings
  • Real-time ECG waveform freezing and review to assist with diagnosis

 

Echocardiography:

Echocardiography is a painless test that uses sound waves to create moving pictures of your heart. The pictures show the size and shape of your heart. They also show how well your heart's chambers and valves are working.

 

Exercise Tolerance Test:

An exercise tolerance test (ETT) - also known as an exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) - can help to assess the severity of coronary heart disease. In this condition there is narrowing of the blood vessels supplying the heart.

 

ABPM:

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a non-invasive method of obtaining blood pressure readings over a 24-hour period, whilst the patient is in their own environment, representing a true reflection of their blood pressure.

 

HOLTER:

A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records patien’s heart’s activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hours or longer depending on the type of monitoring used. The device is the size of a small camera. It has wires with silver dollar-sized electrodes that attach to patient’s skin.
