Heart Health and Cardiology Services

The heart is a vital organ responsible for pumping blood and delivering oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Maintaining heart health is essential for overall well-being and daily functioning.

Heart disease, including coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke, is a leading cause of death worldwide. In Malaysia, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was the leading cause of death in 2021, accounting for approximately 29% of all deaths, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Warning Signs of Heart Conditions

Heart disease may sometimes be “silent” and go unnoticed until a serious event occurs. Symptoms can vary depending on the type of condition:

• Heart Attack: People may experience chest discomfort or pain, which may radiate to the upper back or neck. Other warning signs include heartburn, nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
• Arrhythmia: This may cause unusual fluttering or rapid beats in the chest, also known as palpitations.
• Heart Failure: Common signs include persistent shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling in the feet, ankles, legs, abdomen, or neck veins.

Risk Factors and Prevention

Common factors that increase the risk of heart disease include:

• Smoking
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle

Preventive measures can significantly reduce risk. Regular heart check-ups, a balanced diet, and consistent physical activity are highly recommended.

Advanced Diagnostics and Treatment Options

Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective heart care. Our cardiology specialists use a range of advanced tests to evaluate heart function, identify underlying conditions, and develop personalised treatment plans.

Diagnostics include:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram to assess heart rhythm and structure
• Stress tests to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity
• Cardiac CT or MRI for detailed imaging of the heart and blood vessels
• Blood tests to check cholesterol, markers of heart injury, and overall cardiac health

Treatment options include:

• Lifestyle modifications and dietary guidance to support heart health
• Medications to manage blood pressure, cholesterol, or abnormal heart rhythms
• Minimally invasive procedures to preserve heart function
• Surgical interventions for complex heart conditions

Advances in medical technology have made it possible to diagnose and treat heart conditions with minimally invasive procedures, preserving the health and function of this critical organ.
