The cardiovascular system supports the vital process of blood circulation, supplying all organs with oxygen and essential nutrients. Because disturbances in its function can be life-threatening, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease belong to a separate field of medicine: cardiology.
Cardiologists in Kuala Lumpur actively develop innovative approaches to heart and vascular disease, using the latest achievements of science and technology.
Before prescribing treatment, doctors perform thorough diagnostics that may include:
- X-ray imaging;
- ultrasound of the heart and arteries;
- tomography of the heart and arteries;
- electrophysiological studies;
- laboratory testing.
Cardiology in Kuala Lumpur relies heavily on minimally invasive methods, including bypass surgery, stenting and radiofrequency ablation.
