Scope of Cardiology
Treatments & Interventions
Cardiologists develop individualized treatment plans based on the specific heart condition and the patient’s overall health. Treatment options may include:
Medications: Cardiologists prescribe medications to manage risk factors like hypertension, cholesterol, and heart rhythm abnormalities.
Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation, can significantly improve heart health.
Interventional Procedures: Cardiologists may perform minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty and stent placement to treat coronary artery disease and restore blood flow.
Cardiac Surgery: For more complex heart conditions, surgical interventions, such as bypass surgery or valve repair/replacement, may be necessary.

FAQ's
 Cardiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions related to the heart and blood vessels.
Common symptoms include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations (rapid or irregular heartbeats), dizziness, fatigue, and swelling in the ankles, feet, or legs.
A Cardiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and managing heart conditions using medications, lifestyle modifications, and non-surgical procedures. A Cardiac Surgeon, on the other hand, is a surgeon who performs surgical interventions for heart-related issues, such as bypass surgery or valve repair.
An ECG is a common test used to record the electrical activity of the heart. It helps diagnose heart rhythm abnormalities, detect signs of heart attacks, and assess heart health.
Risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, family history of heart disease, and age (especially over 65 for men and over 55 for women).
Yes, adopting a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of heart disease. This includes eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, not smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups to monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
A stress test (exercise treadmill test) is used to evaluate how the heart functions during physical activity. It helps diagnose coronary artery disease and assess the heart’s response to stress.
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. It is managed through medications to improve heart function, lifestyle changes (e.g., reduced salt intake), and in some cases, medical devices or heart transplants.
