Our Cardiology Services
We provide a range of cardiology services to assess your heart health, investigate symptoms and manage cardiovascular conditions. Depending on your needs, our cardiologist will recommend the appropriate assessments and treatments to support your heart health.
-
Cardiac Health Screening
Our cardiac screening programmes help assess your cardiovascular health and identify potential risk factors early. Depending on your needs, screening may include consultations, risk assessments and specialised diagnostic tests.
-
General Cardiology
Our general cardiology services help assess and manage a wide range of heart-related symptoms and conditions. We take the time to understand your concerns before recommending appropriate tests, treatments and ongoing care.
-
Arrhythmia Monitoring
Our arrhythmia monitoring services help track your heart rhythm and identify irregular or abnormal heartbeats. Monitoring can provide valuable information about your symptoms and help guide further assessment and treatment.
-
Tilt Table Testing for Syncope
Our tilt table testing helps investigate unexplained fainting, dizziness and light-headedness. The results can help our cardiologist identify possible causes and determine the next steps in your care.
-
Pacemaker Implantation and Follow-Up
Pacemaker implantation can help regulate your heart rhythm when your heartbeat is too slow or irregular. We also provide follow-up care to monitor your pacemaker, assess your heart rhythm and address any concerns.
-
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation
An ICD can help protect patients at risk of certain serious heart rhythm problems by detecting and responding to dangerous rhythms. We provide implantation and follow-up care to monitor the device and your heart health.
-
Coronary Angiography and Stenting
Coronary angiography helps assess the blood vessels supplying your heart and identify narrowed or blocked arteries. Where appropriate, stenting can help restore blood flow and support the management of coronary artery disease.
-
Right and Left Heart Catheterisation
Right and left heart catheterisation helps evaluate how well your heart and blood vessels are functioning. The procedure provides detailed information about heart pressures and blood flow, helping guide diagnosis and treatment.
-
Echocardiography
Echocardiography uses ultrasound to create detailed images of your heart as it beats. It helps assess the heart's structure and function and can identify changes that may require further evaluation or treatment.
Cardiac Health Screening
Heart disease remains a leading cause of death in Malaysia and may develop without noticeable symptoms. Cardiac health screening provides a proactive way to assess your cardiovascular health and identify risk factors that may require closer attention.
-
What Does Cardiac Screening Assess?
Cardiac screening evaluates your cardiovascular health and looks for factors that may increase your risk of heart disease. Our cardiologist will consider your age, medical history, family history and lifestyle when determining which assessments are appropriate.
-
Who May Consider Cardiac Screening?
Cardiac screening may be recommended if you have risk factors for heart disease or want to take a proactive approach to your heart health. Screening may be particularly beneficial if you have:
- A family history of heart disease
- High blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol
- A sedentary lifestyle
- A history of smoking
- Obesity or metabolic syndrome
- Chronic stress
- Age 40 or above
The timing and frequency of screening will depend on your individual risk factors and health needs. Your cardiologist can advise you on the appropriate screening schedule.
-
What Tests May Be Recommended?
Your screening may begin with a consultation and cardiovascular risk assessment. Depending on your symptoms, medical history and cardiovascular risk factors, your cardiologist may recommend diagnostic tests such as:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiogram
- Exercise stress test
- Holter monitoring
- Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring
- Coronary CT angiogram
- Cardiac MRI
-
What Happens After Your Cardiac Screening?
After your screening, our cardiologist will explain the findings and discuss what they mean for your heart health. If further assessment or treatment is needed, we will recommend the appropriate next steps and help you understand your care options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When should I see a cardiologist?
Seeking care from a heart doctor is crucial if you are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or dizziness. Regular check-ups are advisable for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of heart disease.
What can I expect at my first consultation with a heart doctor?
The first consultation typically involves an assessment of medical history, current symptoms, and any risk factors for heart disease.
The doctor will also conduct a physical examination, which includes checking your blood pressure and heart rate and listening to your heart and lungs.
Further tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), echocardiogram, or blood work, may be arranged to gather more detailed information about heart function and health.
Do I need a referral to see a cardiologist in Malaysia?
Whether a referral is needed depends on the hospital, clinic and healthcare arrangement. Patients can generally contact a cardiologist directly for a consultation, while some insurance plans or hospital systems may require a referral.
What is the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon?
A cardiologist specialises in diagnosing and managing heart and cardiovascular conditions through medication, monitoring and procedures such as angioplasty or stenting. A cardiac surgeon performs operations to treat certain heart and blood vessel conditions that require surgery.
How should I prepare for my cardiology appointment?
It is always best to prepare a list of symptoms, current medications, relevant medical conditions and previous cardiac tests or procedures. Bringing previous medical records and noting when symptoms occur can also help the cardiologist assess the patient's condition.
What medical records should I bring to see a cardiologist?
Relevant records may include previous blood test results, ECGs, echocardiograms, imaging reports, medication lists and records of previous heart procedures. Providing these documents can give the cardiologist a clearer picture of the patient's cardiac history.
Does a family history of heart disease mean I should see a cardiologist?
A family history of heart disease can increase a person's cardiovascular risk, particularly when combined with other risk factors. A cardiology consultation may help assess overall heart health and determine whether further screening or monitoring is appropriate
