What are clinical cardiologists?

Clinical cardiologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases or situations of the heart and blood vessels - the cardiovascular system. You can also visit a cardiologist to learn about your risk factors for heart disease and what steps you can take to improve your heart health. The Department of clinical cardiology is an area where patients often have access to specialized inpatient and ati-patient cardiac care and long-term management of their conditions. We offer the latest innovations in cardiac care and clinical therapies for patients of all ages.   We offer state-of-the-art tests and procedures to help make an accurate diagnosis and formulate a treatment plan. We see patients with very common heart problems such as angina, arterial problems, valvular heart disease, and heart failure. We also treat patients with very rare heart conditions, including those who have been told by other doctors that their condition cannot be treated. When would I need a cardiolo

What is Congenital heart disease?

A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart. It is at birth. Congenital heart defects are congenital heart defects. Defects include the walls of the heart, the heart valves, and the arteries and veins near the heart. These interrupt the normal flow of blood through the heart. Blood flow may slow down, go in the wrong direction or the wrong place, or be completely blocked.   Is Congenital heart disease procedure an elective or an emergency procedure? Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting approximately 125 live births. Advances in medical care have enabled 90% of these children to live to adulthood. Children with coronary heart disease are more prone to childhood illnesses than healthy children and therefore require selective and emergency surgery at their local hospital. In general, children with coronary artery disease who undergo non-cardiac surgery have an increased risk of disease, perioperative cardiac arrest, and 30-d

Who is an Interventional cardiologist?

An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist who has one to two years of additional education and training in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases as well as congenital (congenital) and catheter-based procedures for structural heart conditions, such as angioplasty and stenting. What kinds of procedures do interventional cardiologists do? Cardiac catheterization This test assesses the presence, size, and location of plaque deposits in the arteries, the strength of the heart muscle, and the function of the heart valves. During cardiac catheterization, the catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in the leg or wrist and gently guided into the heart. Contrast dye is injected into the coronary arteries so the cardiologist can detect the movement of blood through the arteries and chambers of the heart. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) The goal of PGI, also known as angioplasty, is to open the coronary artery to restore blood flow. PCI is a procedure scheduled for the e
