Cardiac Unit
We provide a wide range of diagnostic and treatment services for cardiac patients by clinical expertise, rapid assessment and customized care. We offer the very best facilities with extensive clinical back-up at one of Libya largest private hospitals.
Cardioversions
Used to treat atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythm involving the two upper chambers of
the heart), a cardioversion is a brief electrical shock delivered to the heart either externally or
internally using a catheter placed within the heart.
Coronary Angioplasty
Coronary angioplasty involves the treatment of narrowed
coronary arteries by inflating balloons and placing stents (metal meshes to splint arteries open)
into them to treat heart problems such as angina.
Pericardial aspiration
Pericardial aspiration removes potentially life-threatening fluid that can build up around the
heart by inserting a needle through the chest and into the space around the heart to drain the
liquid.
Ablation
An ablation is a relatively non-invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter into a blood
vessel, often through a site in the groin or neck, and navigating the wire into the heart using a
fluoroscope (a device that provides continuous images of the catheter’s progress)
