At UNTH Clinics, our Cardiology Clinic provides specialist evaluation and care for conditions affecting the heart, blood vessels, blood pressure, circulation, and overall cardiovascular health.
Our services are designed for patients with chest pain, palpitations, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, leg swelling, dizziness, fainting, abnormal ECG findings, heart failure symptoms, and those at risk of heart disease due to diabetes, hypertension, obesity, family history, or lifestyle factors.
What Is Cardiology?
Cardiology is the branch of medicine focused on the heart and blood vessels. It deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of cardiovascular diseases.
Heart problems may sometimes begin silently or present with symptoms that people ignore. Early assessment is important because timely care can prevent complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney damage, and sudden cardiac emergencies.
