Department of Cardiology:

Wide Range Treatments

The division of cardiovascular diseases   offers a wide range services related to   different types of disorders of the heart, arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. Our patient care is supported by many laboratories, sub- specialities and advanced technology and covers a great spectrum of disorders as following:

• Congenital heart diseases like atrial or ventricular septal defect, PDA (Patent ductus arteriosus),and Tetralogy of fallot
• Valvular heart diseases such as mitral ,aortic tricuspid and pulmonary stenosis and regurgitation
• Cardiac Arrhythmias ( heart rhythm disorders)
• Coronary Artery disease s (coronary artery spasm, atherosclerosis , angina pectoris and heart attacks
• Hyperlipidemia
• Acute or Chronic heart failure and cardiomyopathy
• Central and peripheral vascular disease, such as carotid and vertebral artery, aortic aneurysm, arterial embolism, peripheral vascular blockade
• Infectious and inflammatory cardiac diseases such as; endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditic

• Anticoagulation management in patients with atrial fibrillation
• Thrombolytic therapy of Acute heart attack
• Cradiac catheterization , coronary/central and peripheral artery angiography,mayocardial biopsies , coronary angioplasty, stenting , peripheral artery angioplasty, atherectomy, IVUS(intravascular ultrasound), pericardiocynthesis , intra-aortic balloon insertion, embolectomy, LVEDP measurement(non-invasive measurement of left ventricular end diastolic pressure)
• Cardiovascular surgery (coronary bypass graft, valve repair or replacement, repair of Aortic Aneurysm, aortic rapture, mini CABG , beating heart, repair of congenital defects , heart tumors
• Electrophysiology studies, holter monitoring, and arrhythmia management
• Radiofrequency ablation, pace maker and ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator)implantation, pace maker analysis
• Echocardiography including; colored Doppler, Transesophageal echocardiography, stress echocardiography, myocardial tissue echocardiography, contrast echocardiography, 3-D echocardiography
• Exercise tolerance test
• Consultation for prevention and risk factor modification (like smoking, hyperlipidemia , diabetes, obesity and hypertension)
