What are the conditions treated by the best Cardiologist in Karachi?

Top-certified cardiologists are able to diagnose and treat various heart diseases and disorders. Some of these are as follows:

• Heart Failure or Heart Attack -  In heart failure,  a patient’s heart is unable to pump the blood as required by the body. Heart failure is mostly due to coronary artery disease. However high blood pressure, thyroid disease, and heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy) can also cause a heart attack.

• Heart Valve Disease - Valvular heart disease occurs when either one or more valves of the heart do not close properly. The normal blood flow from the heart is blocked due to heart valve disease. The blood can even leak from the heart as well. Heart valve disease can be caused by the infections such as rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, coronary artery heart disease, high bp, or can be due to heart attack. 

• Heart Palpitations - Heart palpitations are the irregular movements of the heartbeat. Palpitations can be caused by stress, exercise, medication, or due to arrhythmia. 

• Arrhythmias - It is an abnormal heart rate or rhythm. Arrhythmias can cause either too-fast or too-slow heart rate.

• Angina - A person suffers from angina when the blood flow from the muscles to the heart is reduced. Angina is mostly the pain or pressure in the chest area. 

• High Cholesterol Disease - It is one of the common health issues in Pakistan. In high cholesterol diseases, the cholesterol starts to deposit in your blood vessels. If left untreated high cholesterol diseases can cause fatty acids to get deposited in the blood vessels and hinder blood flow. 

• Other cardiology diseases include rheumatic heart disease, valvular heart disease, stroke, pulmonary edema, atherosclerosis, cyanotic heart disease, pericarditis, etc.
