Key Department Guide

Cardiology

The Department of Cardiology diagnoses and treats coronary artery disease, hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Diagnosis and treatment rely on electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, ambulatory monitoring, coronary imaging, cardiac MRI, and laboratory tests. For acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, and malignant arrhythmias, rapid triage and standardized treatment are emphasized. For patients in the stable phase, the focus is on risk factor control, optimization of drug therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, and evaluation of device therapy. Interventional treatments such as coronary stents, pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and catheter ablation require strict adherence to indications. If chest pain is accompanied by profuse sweating, syncope, acute respiratory distress, or hypotensive shock, emergency treatment should be prioritized.
