Cardiology

Introduction

Your heart is one of the most important organs in your body, and the focus of cardiology at Hospital Picaso. Our cardiologists diagnose and examine your heart to determine the best solutions for your condition.  

Understanding your heart

The heart is essentially the engine of your body, working tirelessly to keep you up and about. About the size of a clenched fist, your heart pumps oxygenated blood throughout your body while sending carbon dioxide to your lungs to be exhaled. It is positioned between the lungs, slightly to the left of your sternum, and is protected by the ribcage.

In our current modern society, heart conditions are being diagnosed in younger people more than ever, sometimes as early as thirty years old. Besides lifestyle, family history also determines how likely one may encounter problems with their heart. Hence, screenings and regular check-ups are vital to ensure that the health of your heart can be assessed and managed accordingly.

Treatments we provide range from prescribing medication or lifestyle changes. As our cardiology services are a part of CVSKL Cardiac Clinic, you may be referred to CVSKL, a heart specialist hospital in Kuala Lumpur for further procedures or treatments, if necessary.
