Heart Health Check: The Older You Get, the More Attention You Need

What Type of Chest Pain Is It? Could It Be Related to Heart Disease?

It could be a sign of heart disease without us realizing it. If you are someone who is concerned that you or someone close to you may be at risk of heart disease, don't just sit and worry. Let's check to make sure what type of symptoms are indicative of "heart disease."

CT Coronary Calcium Score

Calcium Score, also known as CT Coronary Calcium Score, is a diagnostic imaging test that uses computed tomography (CT) to detect calcifications in the coronary arteries. It is performed to assess the extent of coronary artery deterioration and to evaluate an individual’s future risk of developing coronary artery disease, even in the absence of symptoms.

Coronary Angiography (CAG)

Coronary angiography, also known as cardiac catheterization, is a procedure in which a catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin, wrist, or arm and advanced to the coronary arteries. A contrast dye is then injected, followed by X-ray imaging to visualize the coronary arteries and assess for any narrowing or blockages.

Coronary Artery Angiography (CAG)

Coronary angiography is a procedure in which a catheter is inserted through an artery in the groin, elbow, or wrist and guided to the coronary arteries. A contrast dye is then injected, and X-ray images are taken to visualize the blood vessels and identify any blockages.

Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Diabetes Can Be Prevented

For further information or Booking.. Patients with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) than the general population, and the disease tends to be more severe. CAD also occurs at a younger age in diabetic patients, as prolonged poor blood sugar control can lead to early abnormalities in blood […]

Enlarged Heart (Cardiomegaly)

Enlarged hearts can be classified into two major types: one resulting from thickening of the heart muscle due to increased workload or strain—commonly associated with high blood pressure or heart valve abnormalities—and the other resulting from impaired relaxation of the heart muscle, leading to blood pooling within the heart chambers.

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)

Acute coronary artery disease occurs when the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart become narrowed or occluded, depriving the myocardium of adequate blood flow and resulting in myocardial ischemia. Patients commonly experience severe chest tightness, often described as a sensation of pressure or squeezing in the chest.

Heart Failure Caused by Leaky Heart Valves

For further information or Booking.. Heart Valves and Their Functions Heart valves function like gates, preventing blood from flowing backward into the heart chambers during contraction. Acting as doors that open and close between the chambers of the heart, these valves operate continuously from birth throughout a person’s lifetime. The heart contains four valves […]

Echocardiography: How an Echo Test Can Help Detect Heart Problems Early

Echocardiography is used to assess abnormalities in heart wall motion, measure the volume of blood ejected during cardiac contraction, and visualize a range of heart conditions, including congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, myocardial disorders, and coronary artery disease.

Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG)

An EKG is a quick and effective test used to detect cardiac abnormalities and guide further diagnostic evaluation.
