The Heart is the most important organ in our body. It is muscular, and the size is about your fist. It is located slightly to the left and just behind your breastbone. The Heart’s main function is to pump blood to the organs through the network of arteries and veins, which is called the cardiovascular system.
As much as an important organ, it is more delicate and vulnerable to many problems. However, cardiology science has improved remarkably, and now cardiologists can treat almost all diseases associated with the Heart. The study of Heart is medically termed Cardiology, and the doctors who specialized in Cardiac services called Cardiologist.
At Sia Life Hospital, the cardiology department provides complete tertiary level care for all the patients. The department is equipped with state–of–the–art medical equipment and proficient heart specialists with internationally acclaimed Clinical experience compared to other cardiology hospitals making it one of the best heart hospitals in Hyderabad.
