Cardiology

Matis Hospital provides medical evaluation and treatment for conditions affecting the heart and cardiovascular system. Cardiology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and management of heart conditions, including problems affecting the heart's rhythm, blood vessels, valves and ability to pump blood.The appropriate evaluation and treatment depends on the patient's symptoms, medical history, examination findings and diagnostic test results.

Conditions Affecting the Heart

Understanding Heart Conditions

Cardiovascular conditions can affect the heart muscle, heart rhythm, valves and blood vessels. Common examples include:

Coronary artery disease: A condition in which the blood vessels supplying the heart become narrowed or blocked, potentially reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.
Heart rhythm disorders: Conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast or too slow and may cause symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness or fatigue.
Heart valve disorders: Conditions that affect how the heart valves open and close, influencing blood flow through the heart.
Heart failure: A condition in which the heart cannot pump blood as effectively as the body needs.
High blood pressure: Persistently elevated blood pressure that can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Other cardiovascular conditions: Problems affecting the heart muscle, blood vessels or related structures that may require medical evaluation.

Symptoms and care needs vary between individuals. A cardiology assessment can help determine the appropriate next steps based on the patient’s condition.

Tests, Procedures and Care

Cardiac Diagnosis & Treatment

Cardiac assessment begins with a review of symptoms, medical history and relevant risk factors, followed by a clinical examination where appropriate. Depending on the findings, a cardiologist may recommend further investigations to understand the patient’s heart health.

The specific investigations required depend on the patient’s symptoms and clinical assessment. Patients can contact Matis Hospitals to enquire about the availability and arrangements for a particular cardiac test.

Care may involve medication, advice on lifestyle changes, monitoring and further specialist evaluation, depending on the condition. Where a procedure or additional service is required, its availability and appropriate care arrangements should be established according to the patient’s needs.

Patients experiencing new or severe chest pain, significant breathing difficulty, fainting or other symptoms that may indicate a medical emergency should seek urgent medical attention.
