Cardiology
Cardiology is that area of the medicine dealing with diagnosis, prevention, and cure of heart problems. Heart disease encompasses several health issues like coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Cardiology has taken new strides where a number of treatment procedures could now be very effectively provided in a better time span. Therefore, more effective treatment would keep the patients' living span to its longest while making it more healthy. Dr. Merchant and his team specialize in giving the most up-to-date cardiac care with a personal approach for the best outcome for heart patients.
Common Cardiology Conditions
- Coronary Artery Disease: This disease is a result of the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, usually causing chest pain (angina) and heart attacks.
- Heart Valve Disorders: Diseases of the heart valves impairing blood flow, leading to fatigue and shortness of breath.
- Arrhythmias: Incorrect heart rhythms causing symptoms from palpitations to a life-threatening problem.
- Congenital Heart Disease: Birth defect affecting the anatomy and function of the heart.
- Heart Failure: A condition wherein the heart does not pump adequate blood to deliver to the rest of the body.
- Angioplasty & Stenting: Minimally invasive technique to open obstructed coronary arteries and restore flow.
- Electrophysiology Studies & Ablation: Used to treat arrhythmias by mapping electrical impulses and selectively destroying problematic tissue.
- Cardiac Imaging: Cutting-edge diagnostic tools like MRI and CT scans that help detect heart diseases early.
- Preventive Cardiology: Focused on identifying risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and lifestyle factors to prevent the onset of heart disease.
