Specific care for each disease condition

Hypertension
  • These diseases.
    • This condition causes blood pressure to be higher than normal, putting strain on the heart and blood vessels, increasing the risk of complications such as heart disease and stroke.
  • Main symptoms
    • Headache or dizziness
    • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
    • Bloodshot eyes or visual disturbances
  • Complications
    • Heart disease and coronary artery disease
    • Stroke and cerebrovascular disease
    • Kidney disease or chronic kidney disease
  • Main treatment
    • Treatment effectiveness and risks of complications will be monitored through regular blood pressure measurement and specific tests.
Coronary artery disease
  • These diseases.
    • This is a heart disease in which blood flow in the coronary arteries is restricted, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath due to insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
  • Main symptoms
    • chest pain
    • shortness of breath
    • Palpitation
  • Complications
    • Myocardial infarction
    • Heart failure
    • Angina pectoris
  • Main treatment
    • Coronary artery bypass surgery: Bypasses blood vessels to provide oxygen to the heart.
    • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): A balloon is used to dilate the blood vessels and a stent is inserted to improve blood flow.
Arrhythmia
  • These diseases.
    • This is a disease in which the heart's electrical impulses are not transmitted normally, resulting in an irregular heart rate and rhythm.
  • Main symptoms
    • Palpitation
    • Dizziness
    • loss of consciousness
  • Complications
    • Thrombosis
    • Heart failure
    • Stroke
