Introduction

Cardiology is a subspecialty of internal medicine. With advancements in medical technology, the diagnostic and treatment methods for heart diseases are continuously evolving. In particular, the refinement of cardiac catheterization techniques has enabled many conditions that previously required cardiac surgery to be treated through minimally invasive methods, significantly reducing patient risks and recovery times. Since the establishment of the cardiac catheterization lab in our hospital in 2001, we have been able to provide cardiac specialty services that meet the standards of a medical center.

The heart is situated in the chest cavity, slightly to the left of the center, functioning as a continuously operating pump. It is responsible for transporting blood from the veins into the right ventricle, where it is then oxygenated in the lungs and pumped through the left ventricle to deliver oxygen-rich, nutrient-filled blood to the entire body. Simultaneously, the heart requires its own blood supply to sustain its function, which is provided by the coronary arteries. These arteries are divided into three branches: the right coronary artery and the left coronary artery’s anterior descending and circumflex branches.

Service

Coronary Artery Disease and Angina: Diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases caused by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries.
Valvular Heart Disease: Treatment of conditions associated with abnormal heart valve function.
Heart Failure: Treatment for conditions in which the heart is unable to effectively pump blood throughout the body.
Arrhythmias: Treatment for various irregular heart rhythms.
Cardiac Catheterization and Treatment: Conducting cardiac catheterization, balloon angioplasty, and stent placement to alleviate vascular blockages.
Permanent Pacemaker Placement: A treatment for conditions that require continuous adjustment of heart rhythm.
Arteriovenous Fistula Dilation: A procedure aimed at alleviating problems caused by vascular obstruction or stenosis.
Unexplained Syncope: Diagnosis and treatment of fainting causes, with a focus on ruling out cardiac issues.
Carotid Artery Stenosis Examination and Stent Placement: A treatment for blood flow issues resulting from the narrowing of the carotid artery.
Peripheral Vascular Occlusion Examination and Recanalization: Assessment and treatment of peripheral vascular blockages.
