PERSONNEL OF CARDIOLOGY
1. Doctors who specialise in cardiology are called Cardiologists
Cardiologist treat people with diseases or conditions of the heart and people who want
to learn the risk factors for heart disease. A primary care doctor or family practice
doctor can work with a cardiology specialist to diagnose, treat, and manage heart
conditions and help people make heart-healthy lifestyle choices. Patients who are at
risk for heart disease or have a history of heart symptoms may see a clinical
cardiologist regularly. People with ongoing heart conditions, pacemakers, or frequent
heart trouble are likely to see a cardiologist with a subspecialty
2. Nurses who are competent in their fields. The poly serves cardiac examination with
ECG tool equipped (Electro Cardio Graphy)
ACTIVITIES OF CARDIOLOGY
Stress test – ( Treadmill Test) to measure the work of the heart and its limitations
Ambulatory ECG - to check for abnormal heart rhythms
Holter monitoring - an ECG machine that can be taken continuously supervise the
functioning of the heart for a certain period.
Electrocardiography - to measure the heart's electrical activity.
Results from these tests are then translated to produce an accurate diagnosis and suggest a
treatment plan what is most appropriate to alleviate the existing symptoms. Cardiology
experts can suggest a proper diet, cardiac rehabilitation, intervention-engineering, and
lifestyle changes to prevent a further heart health or worsening of vascular conditions. For the
conditions of the symptoms of more serious, cardiologist may advise you to immediately see
a heart surgeon for the treatment of invasive if necessary.

the impulse reaches the surface of the body.
Apa yang dimaksud dengan tes elektrokardiografi (EKG)? Pemeriksaan EKG membantu
Dokter Kami untuk menentukan apakah jantung Anda berfungsi secara normal. Pemeriksaan
EKG pada saat istirahat adalah suatu rekaman aktivitas listrik jantung saat impulsnya
mencapai permukaan tubuh.

merupakan suatu pemeriksaan yang memberikan gambaran jantung Anda yang sedang
berdenyut dan dapat merekam gambar dengan sempurna, yang dapat membantu Dokter Anda
dalam mengevaluasi kesehatan jantung Anda.
Apa itu Tes Treadmill (Exercise Stress Test)? Pemeriksaan ini dapat memberikan informasi
apakah jantung Anda memiliki asupan darah dan oksigen dari sirkulasi saat terjadi stres fisik
yang mungkin tidak muncul pada EKG saat istirahat.
What it tests Treadmill (Exercise Stress Test)? This examination can provide information if
you have a cardiac blood supply and oxygen from the circulation times of physical stress that
may not show up on an ECG at rest.
