CARDIOLOGY
Care for your heart and circulation — from checking your risk and managing blood pressure to treating blocked arteries, rhythm problems and heart failure.
Most heart trouble is preventable, and treatable early
Heart and blood-vessel disease is one of the biggest causes of illness worldwide — but a great deal of it can be prevented, and much of it is very treatable when caught in time.
At Putra Medical Centre, our cardiology service covers the whole range: preventive screening and risk assessment, advanced catheter-based procedures, and long-term management. Cardiologists don’t only treat heart attacks — they manage high blood pressure, cholesterol, rhythm problems, heart failure and structural heart disease. The team works closely with our emergency, anaesthesia, intensive care and rehabilitation services, so care flows smoothly from clinic to ward to critical care.
What we help with
Chest symptoms are worth taking seriously. Start with what you've noticed.
Chest pain or pressure
Always worth getting checked, sooner rather than later.
Palpitations / irregular heartbeat
A racing, skipping or fluttering heart.
High blood pressure
Silent, but a major driver of heart trouble.
High cholesterol
A key risk factor we can assess and manage.
Breathlessness or swelling
Possible signs of heart failure.
A family history, or a risk check
Know your numbers before there's a problem.
Recovering after a heart attack
Supervised cardiac rehabilitation.
What we can do about it
Our cardiology care falls into five areas. Pick the one that matches your situation.
Finding out where you stand, before your heart tells you the hard way.
What this includes
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Cholesterol (lipid) profiling
- Diabetes screening
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Stress testing
Finds and manages risk before a heart attack or stroke happens.
Seeing how your heart is actually working, without a single incision.
What this includes
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiography — ultrasound of the heart
- Exercise and pharmacological stress testing
Shows how your heart is performing, and detects coronary artery disease before symptoms worsen.
Opening a blocked artery through a catheter, instead of opening the chest.
What this includes
- Coronary angiography
- Angioplasty (balloon)
- Stent placement (PCI)
Restores blood flow and limits heart-attack damage, with far shorter recovery than open surgery.
Hearts that beat too fast, too slow or out of step — and the strokes that can follow.
What this includes
- Arrhythmia management
- Cardioversion
- Electrophysiology studies
- Pacemaker implantation and monitoring
Prevents stroke, sudden cardiac arrest and long-term heart complications.
A weakened heart needs its medication kept finely tuned. That's what the clinic is for.
What this includes
- Structured heart failure clinic
- Medication optimisation
- Regular monitoring and follow-up
- Cardiac rehabilitation
Fewer hospital readmissions and a noticeably better quality of life.
Heart disease often gives no warning until it's serious.
A simple risk assessment — blood pressure, cholesterol, an ECG, sometimes a stress test — catches problems while they're still easy to manage. It's especially worth doing if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease.
Your first visit, step by step
Here's how a first cardiology appointment usually goes.
Assessment
History, risk factors, blood pressure and an ECG.
Tests
Echocardiography, a stress test or imaging as needed.
Diagnosis & plan
Medication, a procedure, or a lifestyle plan.
Treatment
Many procedures are minimally invasive, through a small catheter insertion.
Follow-up & rehab
Heart failure clinic, and cardiac rehabilitation after an event.
What you get at PMCK cardiology
Early-detection screening
Structured for higher-risk patients.
Minimally invasive procedures
Catheter-based, so shorter recovery and faster discharge.
Advanced cardiac imaging
Accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.
Continuous monitoring
Telemetry during your hospital stay.
Cardiac rehabilitation
Supervised recovery after a heart attack or surgery.
Rapid response for cardiac emergencies
Working directly with A&E and ICU.
