Cardiology is the branch of medicine focused on the heart and blood vessels. It covers the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart rhythm disorders, and heart failure.
Cardiologists are specialized physicians trained to assess cardiovascular risks, manage ongoing conditions, and provide treatment plans that combine medical management, lifestyle guidance, and advanced diagnostics — all aimed at supporting long-term heart health.
If you're experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations (an irregular heartbeat), dizziness, or leg swelling — especially if you have a history of heart disease or high blood pressure — it may be time to consult a cardiologist. Early detection is key to managing risk and preventing serious complications.
Common signs and symptoms of heart-related concerns include:
If any of these symptoms are new, worsening, or persistent, it's important you seek medical advice as soon as possible.

What sets us apart:
Avoid caffeine and heavy meals if you’re going to undergo a stress test. Bring your list of medications and any previous test results.
Most initial visits include a detailed consultation, physical exam, ECG, and possibly an echocardiogram depending on your symptoms.
While risk increases with age, early signs can appear in your 30s or 40s — especially with high stress, poor lifestyle habits, or a family history.
These may include medications, lifestyle changes, interventional procedures (like angioplasty), or surgery — depending on the condition.
Quitting smoking/e-cigarettes, eating a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress are essential steps.
Stay active, reduce salt and processed foods, monitor blood pressure and cholesterol, and follow up with your doctor regularly.
