What Is Cardiology?

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. Cardiologists are specialized physicians who manage a wide range of cardiovascular issues, from common arrhythmias to complex coronary artery disease.

Cardiology treatment in Turkey has made remarkable progress in recent years with modern diagnostic tools, advanced interventional procedures, and internationally accredited healthcare facilities. MedicalPark’s cardiology department offers comprehensive cardiac care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Which Diseases Does the Cardiology Department Deal with?

The cardiology department at MedicalPark specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of cardiovascular conditions. Some of the most commonly treated diseases include:

·       Coronary artery disease (CAD)

·       Heart attack (myocardial infarction)

·       Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)

·       Heart failure

·       Valvular heart diseases

·       Congenital heart conditions

·       Hypertension (high blood pressure)

·       Peripheral artery disease

In collaboration with our Cardiovascular Surgery Department, we ensure seamless care from diagnosis to surgical intervention when needed.

Diagnostic Tests in Cardiology

Accurate diagnosis is critical in determining effective treatment. MedicalPark uses advanced cardiology diagnostic tests, including:

·       Electrocardiogram (ECG)

·       Echocardiography (TTE and TOE cardiology)

·       Cardiac stress testing (treadmill test)

·       Holter monitoring

·       Cardiac CT and MRI

·       Coronary angiography

·       Electrophysiology studies (EPS)

These diagnostic tools help our cardiology specialists identify heart conditions early, allowing timely and targeted intervention.

What Are the Symptoms of Cardiology Diseases?

Symptoms of heart disease can vary, but early detection is essential for effective treatment. Common symptoms include:

·       Chest pain or discomfort

·       Shortness of breath

·       Irregular heartbeat

·       Fatigue

·       Dizziness or fainting

·       Swelling in legs, ankles, or feet

·       Cold sweats

If you notice any of these signs, many hospitals including those in the MedicalPark hospitals network offer comprehensive check up packages in Turkey including a proper evaluation of cardiovascular conditions.

Treatment Options for Heart Disease

Treatment for heart disease depends on the type and severity of the condition. At MedicalPark, we provide both non-invasive and interventional cardiology treatments.

·       Antiplatelet agents

·       Beta-blockers

Interventional Procedures

For more advanced cases, interventional cardiology procedures may be necessary. These include:

·       Coronary angioplasty and stenting

·       Implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators

·       TAVI cardiology (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation)

·       CTO cardiology (Chronic Total Occlusion procedures)
