Cardiology Specialist & Heart Care Services in Melaka

What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is a medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the heart and blood vessels. A cardiologist deals with the various complications such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and valvular disorders, among others. Knowing the functions of your heart helps you know the symptoms even before serious and irreversible damage happens.
