Total care of coronary artery disease patients, accompanied with stable angina, unstable angina and past heart attack. The treatment is provided through management of medication, lifestyle counseling, coordination of cardiac rehabilitation, and evaluation of revascularization methods on the occasions of need. We collaborate with interventional cardiologists in an attempt to offer the best results in treatment.

Management Of Heart Failure

Integrated care of heart failure involving heart failure diagnosis, staging, and incorporation of medications as well as management of lifestyle. We have an established program of heart failure aimed at the enhancement of the quality of life, a decrease in hospitalizations, and retarding the progression of the disease based on evidence-based treatment interventions and patient education.

Arrhythmia Management

All these cardiac rhythm conditions such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, and bradycardia diagnosis and treatment. Some of such services include, electrocardiogram interpretation, organization of Holter monitoring, and organization of antiarrhythmic medication.
