Professional Medical Service in Cardiology
At JD Diagnostics, our Cardiology Department is dedicated to providing comprehensive heart care services, ranging from early detection to advanced treatments. With cutting-edge technology and a team of highly skilled cardiologists, we ensure that every patient receives personalized care tailored to their specific cardiovascular needs.
- Our expert cardiologists perform angioplasty using advanced techniques, ensuring patient safety and fast recovery.
- An echocardiogram is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to produce images of the heart. This test helps our specialists evaluate the size, structure, and function of the heart, aiding in the diagnosis of heart conditions such as valve diseases and cardiomyopathy.
- Holter monitoring is a continuous ECG recording, typically over 24-48 hours, used to diagnose irregular heartbeats and other cardiac issues that may not be detected in a single ECG test.
- The ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and helps detect abnormal heart rhythms or patterns. Our cardiology team provides quick and accurate results, allowing for immediate treatment plans if necessary.
1. What is angioplasty and when is it needed?
Angioplasty is a procedure used to open blocked or narrowed arteries to restore blood flow to the heart. It is typically recommended for patients with coronary artery disease or those at risk of a heart attack due to clogged arteries.
2. How long does an echocardiogram take?
An echocardiogram usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. It’s a painless procedure, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after.
3. Is an ECG the same as a stress test?
No, an ECG records your heart’s electrical activity while you’re at rest. A stress test involves physical exertion (usually on a treadmill) to evaluate how your heart performs under stress.
4. What is the difference between a regular ECG and Holter monitoring?
A regular ECG captures a brief snapshot of your heart’s electrical activity. Holter monitoring, on the other hand, records your heart’s activity continuously for 24-48 hours, providing a more comprehensive look at irregular heart rhythms.
5. How can I prevent heart disease?
Prevention starts with healthy lifestyle choices such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. Regular check-ups with your cardiologist can also help detect early signs of heart disease.
