Overview of Cardiology Services

Cardiology focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. With Fibohealth, patients access world-class care tailored to their unique cardiovascular needs.

What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is a medical specialty dealing with heart health and cardiovascular care. It encompasses treatments for a wide range of conditions, including coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure.

Cardiologists employ cutting-edge techniques to improve heart function and enhance patient well-being. Treatments range from diagnostic tests like coronary angiography to interventions such as stent placement and cardiac ablation.

Common Cardiology Conditions

Conditions treated by cardiologists include:

  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Blockages in heart arteries leading to chest pain and heart attacks.
  • Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that can disrupt blood flow.
  • Heart Valve Disorders: Malfunctioning valves affecting heart efficiency.
  • Congenital Heart Defects: Structural abnormalities present from birth.

Diagnostic Services

Fibohealth offers comprehensive diagnostics, ensuring accurate detection and effective treatment planning:

  • Radial Angiography: A minimally invasive method to evaluate arterial blockages.
  • Echocardiography: Ultrasound imaging of the heart.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): Tests heart rhythm and electrical activity.

Advanced Procedures in Cardiology

Fibohealth provides innovative cardiology procedures performed by highly experienced specialists in state-of-the-art facilities.

Radial and Coronary Angiography

Angiography is a critical diagnostic tool used to detect blockages or abnormalities in coronary arteries.

  • Radial Angiography: Performed via the wrist, offering quicker recovery and reduced discomfort.
  • Coronary Angiography: A traditional approach using the groin for access.

Comparing Angiography Techniques

  • Radial Access Benefits:
    • Reduced bleeding risks.
    • Shorter hospital stays.
  • Coronary Access Benefits:
    • Suitable for complex cases requiring detailed imaging.

Both techniques offer high precision, enabling cardiologists to develop effective treatment plans.

Stent Placement in Turkey

Stent placement is a common procedure for opening blocked arteries, restoring blood flow, and preventing heart attacks.

Procedure Review and Benefits

  • How It’s Done: A stent (small mesh tube) is inserted into the artery using a catheter.
  • Advantages:
    • Immediate symptom relief (e.g., chest pain).
    • Reduced risk of future blockages.
    • Performed minimally invasively, leading to faster recovery.

Turkey’s cardiology centers combine advanced technology with cost-effective care, making it a preferred destination for international patients.

Specialized Cardiac Interventions

Fibohealth also specializes in advanced interventions for complex heart conditions.

Cardiac Ablation for Arrhythmias

This procedure treats abnormal heart rhythms by destroying the faulty heart tissue causing irregular beats.

  • Benefits:
    • Restores normal rhythm.
    • Reduces dependency on medications.
  • Success Rates: High success rates make it a reliable option for patients with arrhythmias.

Pacemaker Battery Replacement

A crucial procedure for patients with pacemakers, ensuring uninterrupted heart rhythm support.

  • What to Expect: A quick, minimally invasive process typically completed in under an hour.
  • Longevity: Modern pacemaker batteries last 5–15 years, depending on usage.
