Heart disease remains the leading health issue in the country, yet 80% of early heart attacks and strokes can be avoided. Knowing what puts you at risk plays a major role in staying heart-healthy. Heart care professionals run blood pressure checks and lipid clinics to give people thorough insights into their risks. They also share tailored lifestyle advice to support personal heart health aims. The department has grown into a regional hub for heart care with an advanced Cath Lab in place.

Tests and Treatments
If you need an evaluation of your heart or an early start to address a heart issue, we provide several non-invasive and low-risk testing options. Using advanced tools, we ensure a clear and detailed diagnosis. This helps your care team choose the right treatment plan. Doctors use cardiac catheterisation to find heart issues or provide early treatments. These less invasive methods help address problems that could lead to major illnesses like strokes or heart attacks. The recovery from catheterisation happens fast, and the chances of complications stay low. This helps you return to a more active and healthier lifestyle.
