Expert Cardiology Services for a Healthy Heart

What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and cardiovascular conditions. This includes diseases affecting the coronary arteries, heart valves, heart muscle, pericardium, heart rhythm, and congenital heart conditions, as well as other vascular disorders. 

The heart is a vital muscular organ, responsible for pumping blood throughout the body via arteries and veins. Proper cardiac care is essential for maintaining overall health, which is why accurate diagnosis and timely treatment play a critical role in preventing serious complications.

Heart and Vascular Conditions We Manage

Our cardiology specialists provide comprehensive care for a wide range of heart and vascular issues, including:

• Coronary artery disease (CAD) and related blockages
• Heart attacks (myocardial infarction)
• Disorders of the heart valves
• Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
• Congenital heart defects are present from birth
• Heart failure and weakened heart function
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Elevated cholesterol levels
• Peripheral vascular disease affects the blood flow to the limbs

With early detection and tailored care plans, we aim to improve both immediate outcomes and long-term heart health for every patient.

Premiere Health Facility

At Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani, our patients receive care from highly experienced cardiologists who provide accurate diagnoses and expert treatment. Many of our specialists have subspecialty training in interventional cardiology and perform minimally invasive procedures for structural, coronary, and vascular conditions using small catheters, stents, and other advanced devices. 

Our facility is designed to meet modern cardiac care needs:

• Coronary Care Unit (CCU): A specialised ward for monitoring and treating patients with heart conditions.
• Intensive Care Unit (ICU): For patients requiring focused, continuous care for serious cardiac issues.
• Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory: Enables minimally invasive tests and procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases. 

To support these services, our cardiac unit is equipped with advanced technology, including a single-plane X-Ray System and cardiac telemetry monitoring, ensuring high-quality care and improved outcomes for its patients.

Premiere Health Services

Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani offers a comprehensive range of cardiac services designed to support early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment of heart conditions. Our structured medical packages help patients manage their cardiac health efficiently while ensuring a smooth hospital experience.

Cardiac Screening and Diagnostic Packages

We provide dedicated cardiac screening packages, including cardiac screening and angiogram packages, to help identify heart conditions at an early stage. Cardiac screening involves a series of tests to detect risk factors or early signs of cardiovascular disease, while an angiogram is a diagnostic procedure that uses contrast dye and X-ray imaging to assess blood vessels and coronary arteries.

Apart from these medical packages, other services for cardiac screening and rehabilitation include:

• Physical examination and report by a specialist
• Body Mass Index (BMI)
• General Screening Profile B
• Chest X-Ray
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Treadmill (Stress) ECG

Non-Invasive Cardiology Services

Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani also offers non-invasive cardiology, a process of determining heart problems without the necessity of instruments being inserted to the body. These are:

• Echocardiogram
• Holter monitoring
• Computed Tomography Coronary Angiogram (CTA) and Coronary Calcium Score

Interventional Cardiology Services

Another non-surgical alternative is interventional cardiology, which instead uses a catheter to repair blood vessels, arteries and other damaged parts of the heart with the option for the following:

• Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), including balloon angioplasty and coronary stent implantation
• Pacemaker implantation (temporary & permanent)
• IVC filter implantation
• Pericardiocentesis
• Right Heart Study
• Renal angioplasty
• Renal denervation for resistant hypertension
• Peripheral angiogram / angioplasty for limb ischaemia
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
• Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT)
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
