Cardiology in Israel

A huge number of people are suffering from cardiovascular diseases all over the world. According to statistics, this type of pathology is the first cause of death.

That is why cardiology in Israel is one of the priority areas of medicine. Israeli doctors pay great attention to this problem, regularly engaged in the development of new methods of diagnosis and treatment, as well as new medicines. Every year, Israel introduces the latest scientific achievements in the field of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiac diseases.

In order to diagnose diseases of the cardiovascular system, Israel specialists use several modern methods:

1. Blood and urine tests on various parameters;
2. Chest X-ray (rare);
3. Ultrasound examination of the heart (echocardioscopy) is the main method of diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Allows to explore separately the parts of the blood flow and heart.
4. Magnetic resonance tomography - makes it possible to measure blood flow, points to heart and vascular lesions in ischemic disease, heart attack and other pathological processes;
5. Magnetic resonance angiocardiography using contrast agents. This method of diagnosis began to apply not very long ago.
6. Radioisotope method - the effect of this procedure is the accumulation of a radioisotope substance, which is introduced into the patient's body in advance. This type of research allows to detect defects of the heart muscle, as well as defects in the functions of the ventricles of the heart and the mobility of their walls;
7. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - is prescribed for patients who are prescribed an angioplasty surgery and aortocoronary bypass surgery;
8. Procedure for central arteries and veins catheterization - allows you to enter medications and monitor the patient's condition during the entire intensive therapy;
9. The procedure for catheterization of the heart and the main vessels is performed with the aim of accurately diagnosing the vascular and heart lesions. As a rule, appoint before operations. However, the cortex is also used in treatment: during cardiogenic shock, repeated angina after shunting, for the purpose of angioplasty of vessels, etc. There are cases when catheterization from the diagnostic immediately passes into the therapeutic one;

10. Virtual catheterization is considered an innovative method, which is a speedy X-ray scan and a three-dimensional photo of the heart.

The professionalism of experienced Israeli cardiologists, as well as innovative methods of examination, make it possible to pinpoint the disease and choose the right treatment methods.

In Israeli cardiology departments, work groups of certified cardiologists, combining their individual abilities and overall professional experience, than ensure the treatment of cardiovascular diseases at the highest level. Cardiology in Israel combines the use of invasive, non-invasive and interventional cardiology, and in addition - the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases with the use of modern diagnostic and treatment technologies. The cardiology department in Israel provides a comprehensive approach to the treatment of heart disease, which ensures an improvement in the quality of life for a person.

It is especially noteworthy that the Israeli experts make every effort to preserve the integrity of the diseased organ and avoid a transplant, returning to it the lost functionality. This is achieved with the help of special organ-saving operations, which include the cleaning of vessels, stenting, the installation of special implants (artificial pacemaker, artificial valve, etc.). Thanks to this, recovery after treatment often does not take much time and the former patient can return to a normal lifestyle.

Israeli cardiologists take an active part in international and local scientific research. In addition, there is a department that specializes in conducting clinical surveys in different areas. For example, the impact of modern pharmacological drugs (acute and chronic), the use of innovative equipment in aortocoronary shunting operations, etc.
