Ischemic heart disease ranks first among cardiovascular pathologies in Georgia, as well as worldwide, in terms of prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. This condition disrupts the blood flow in the coronary arteries, preventing the heart from receiving an adequate blood supply, which hinders the intensive functioning of the heart muscle. The Cardiology Department at Caucasus Medical Center is actively involved in the prevention of ischemic heart disease and offers comprehensive, high-quality medical services for this purpose.

 

The Cardiology Department functions as a multidisciplinary center with a primary focus on preventing heart disease. At the clinic, patients' risk groups are accurately and professionally assessed, taking into account various risk factors, comorbid conditions, and harmful habits. Proper control and appropriate treatment of these factors help prevent the development of the disease.

 

Since individual awareness plays a crucial role in the positive outcomes of cardiovascular disease prevention, the department provides patients with precise information about their health status and creates personalized examination and treatment plans based on internationally recognized guidelines.

 

For the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, the hospital utilizes both non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods, including:

 

  • Electrocardiography (ECG)
  • Echocardiography
  • Stress testing
  • Holter monitoring
  • Computed tomography (CT)
  • Invasive coronary angiography

 

The Cardiology Department at Caucasus Medical Center is staffed by a highly qualified team with extensive Western medical experience, actively participating in international scientific conferences. The department is led by Dr. Sophio Tsikarishvili, an academic doctor of medicine and cardiologist.
