Cardiology

Heart Failure is a condition where the heart fails to pump blood in order to maintain the metabolic needs of the body. In most cases, heart failure is a chronic, long-standing and on-going condition, but it can develop suddenly.

Chest pain can present as a sharp, stabbing pain or a dull ache accompanied by discomfort in your chest. It is not a disease, but a symptom of an underlying heart problem like coronary heart disease. The degree of chest pain depends on the intensity, duration and person.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heart condition characterized by an irregular and rapid heartbeat that hampers blood supply to the body. In atrial fibrillation, the upper chambers (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart lack coordination, causing a rapid and irregular heart rhythm.

Coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open up blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow to your heart muscle.

Arteries, blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to all the parts of the body, are normally flexible and smooth on the inner side, but deposits of cholesterol, calcium, and fibrous tissue (plaque) can build up on the inner walls of the arteries, making them hard, stiff and narrow.

Interventional cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the heart. Interventional cardiology techniques make use of a thin tube called a catheter which is inserted into blood vessels including arteries or veins through a tiny incision and with the help of imaging techniques,

The heart is a muscular organ that circulates blood to the entire body by the beating of the heart. The heartbeat is stimulated by an electrical system, which follows a specific pattern and circuit.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heart condition characterized by an irregular and rapid heartbeat that hampers blood supply to the body. In atrial fibrillation, the upper chambers (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart lack coordination, causing a rapid and irregular heart rhythm.

Atrial Fibrillation is the most common type of disorder of your heart rate or rhythm. It occurs when disorganized electrical signals cause the atria (heart's two upper chambers) to contract very rapidly and irregularly.
