Bekaa Hospital's Cardiology Unit
Comprehensive Heart Care
At Bekaa Hospital, our Cardiology Unit is dedicated to providing exceptional care for all cardiac conditions, from routine diagnostics to advanced interventional procedures. Our unit combines state-of-the-art technology with the expertise of highly skilled cardiologists to ensure optimal heart health for our patients.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
Our Cardiology Unit is equipped with a comprehensive range of diagnostic tools to accurately assess and monitor cardiac health:
- Cardiologist Clinic: A dedicated space where our expert cardiologists consult with patients, conduct thorough evaluations, and develop personalized care plans.
- Cardiac Ultrasound (Echocardiography) Room: Utilizing advanced ultrasound technology, this room provides detailed, real-time images of the heart’s structure and function, including blood flow dynamics and valve health. This non-invasive tool is crucial for diagnosing various heart conditions.
- Stress Testing: We offer various stress tests, including Exercise Stress Tests, to evaluate heart function under physical exertion, helping to diagnose coronary artery disease and assess exercise tolerance.
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) Testing: A fundamental diagnostic tool that records the electrical activity of the heart, vital for detecting arrhythmias, Myocardial infarction, ST elevation and other cardiac abnormalities.
- Other Diagnostic Tools: Our unit also utilizes additional diagnostic capabilities such as Holter monitoring for extended heart rhythm analysis, and other non-invasive assessments to provide a complete picture of cardiac health.
- Peripheral Arteriography: is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside of blood vessels with a particular focus on the arteries. It helps doctors diagnose and sometimes treat problems affecting blood flow
- Coiling: also known as endovascular coiling or coil embolism is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat an aneurysm most commonly in the brain
Cutting-Edge Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
Our Cardiology Unit extends to a sophisticated Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab), where our expert interventional cardiologists perform a wide array of procedures for both diagnosis and treatment. This specialized facility includes:
- Preparation Room: A comfortable and monitored area for patients to prepare before their procedure.
- Recovery Room: A dedicated space for patients to safely recover under close supervision following their procedure.
Our highly skilled interventional cardiologists are proficient in performing advanced procedures, including but not limited to:
- Coronary Angiography: A diagnostic procedure using X-ray imaging and contrast dye to visualize the coronary arteries and detect blockages or narrowing.
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) / Angioplasty and Stenting: Minimally invasive procedures to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries using balloons and/or stents, restoring crucial blood flow to the heart muscle.
- Emergency Interventions: Our Cath Lab is prepared to handle acute cardiac emergencies, such as Myocardial infarction and ST elevation patients, providing rapid and life-saving interventions.
