Cardiology

At Emirates Hospitals Abu Dhabi, we understand the importance of a healthy heart. We offer a comprehensive range of services to diagnose, manage, and treat various heart conditions. This includes:

• Ischemic Heart Disease Management: This common condition arises from reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Our team utilizes lifestyle modifications, medications, and procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery to improve blood flow and prevent complications.

• Cardiomyopathy Management: This refers to diseases affecting the heart muscle, leading to weakness and impaired pumping. We offer specialized care plans based on the specific type of cardiomyopathy, using medications, cardiac devices (pacemakers), and in severe cases, heart transplantation.

• Hypertensive Heart Disease Management: Chronic high blood pressure can damage the heart. We implement lifestyle changes, medications, and advanced monitoring to control blood pressure and prevent heart complications.

• Hyperlipidaemia Management: High cholesterol levels contribute to heart disease. We create personalized treatment plans including dietary modifications, medications like statins, and advanced lipid-lowering therapies when needed.

• Valvular Heart Disease Management: Diseased heart valves can disrupt blood flow. Our team offers diagnosis, minimally invasive procedures for valve repair, and surgical valve replacement depending on the severity.

Advanced Diagnostics for Accurate Assessment:

Early detection is crucial for optimal heart health management. Emirates Hospitals utilizes a range of advanced diagnostic tools:

• Echocardiography: This painless ultrasound provides detailed images of the heart’s structure and function.

• Treadmill Testing (Exercise Stress Test): This test evaluates heart function during exercise to detect potential blockages in the coronary arteries.

• Holter Monitoring: This portable device records your heart rhythm for 24-48 hours, helping to identify arrhythmias.

• 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring: This test allows for a more accurate assessment of daily blood pressure fluctuations.

• CT Angiography and MR Angiography: These advanced imaging techniques provide detailed 3D visuals of the heart and blood vessels to diagnose blockages and other abnormalities.

By combining these diagnostic tools with expertise in various heart conditions, Emirates Hospitals Abu Dhabi offers a comprehensive approach to your cardiovascular health. We are committed to providing personalized care plans, advanced treatment options, and the latest technology to help you achieve optimal heart health and a better quality of life.
