Cardiology
Cardio-pulmonary Diagnostic Centre

Cardiology Services in Hospital Fatimah encompasses diagnostic, pharmacological, therapeutic & percutaneous interventional procedures involving either non-invasive cardiology or interventional cardiology.

Our invasive Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory is equipped with facilities which provide high quality imaging of the coronary vessels and peripheral vessels with minimal radiation exposure to both patients and catheterisation laboratory support staff.

Imaging of coronary vessels may also be viewed non-invasively through the 128 multi-slice CT Scan.
