Cardiology
The heart and blood vessels: high blood pressure, arrhythmias, chest pain, cholesterol.
Overview
About the office
The cardiologist evaluates and treats diseases of the heart and blood vessels. In a single visit, the clinical examination, electrocardiogram and echocardiography can be done, so that the diagnosis and treatment plan are ready the same day.
You see the specialist yourself
The visit, examination and explanation are all done by the same doctor.
Everything in one place
The visit, exams and tests, without being sent from one center to another.

Exams in the office
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Records the heart's electrical activity in a few minutes. It detects rhythm disorders, signs of ischemia and enlargement of the heart chambers.
Echocardiography
An ultrasound of the heart that shows the size of the chambers, pumping strength, the valves and the pressures inside the heart. It is the basic exam for heart failure and valve disease.
24-hour Holter ECG
A small device records the ECG throughout the day and night while you go about your usual life. It is used for palpitations, dizziness and to catch arrhythmias that do not appear during the visit.
24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
A small device with a cuff measures blood pressure automatically every 15–30 minutes during the day and night. It shows real values outside the medical setting, blood pressure at night and the effect of treatment; it also detects “white coat hypertension”.

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to my visit?
Your previous test results and exams (a photo on your phone is fine), a list of the medicines you take with their doses, and your ID card.
Can I have the exams on the same day?
Yes, in most cases: an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, 24-hour Holter ECG and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring are done during the same visit, so the result can be interpreted right away.
How can I book?
Call 069 800 8006, message us on WhatsApp, or fill in the booking form on this page. Reception will confirm the appointment time.
Do I need to come fasting?
Only when you are having blood tests such as blood glucose and a lipid profile, or an abdominal ultrasound. It is not needed for a routine visit.

Aritmitë e zemrës
Aritmitë janë çrregullime të ritmit të zemrës — shumë të shpejta, shumë të ngadalta ose të parregullta. Disa janë të padëmshme; të tjera, si fibrilacioni atrial, kërkojnë trajtim për të parandaluar komplikacionet.
Ateroskleroza e arterieve karotide
Ateroskleroza karotide është grumbullimi i pllakave në arteriet e qafës që furnizojnë trurin. Trajtimi synon uljen e rrezikut të insultit — kryesisht me kontroll të kolesterolit, tensionit dhe ndërprerje të duhanit.
Dislipidemia
Kolesteroli i lartë — sidomos LDL — kontribuon në aterosklerozë dhe rrit rrezikun e infarktit dhe insultit. Nuk jep simptoma; zbulohet me analizë gjaku dhe trajtohet sipas rrezikut individual.
Fibrilacioni atrial
Ritëm i çrregullt dhe shpesh i shpejtë i zemrës. Rrit rrezikun e trombeve dhe të iktusit cerebral, por trajtohet mirë.
Hipertensioni arterial
Hipertensioni është rritja e vazhdueshme e presionit arterial. Zakonisht nuk jep simptoma, por me kohën dëmton zemrën, trurin, veshkat dhe enët e gjakut. Matja e saktë është hapi i parë.
Hipertrofia e ventrikulit të majtë
Hipertrofia e ventrikulit të majtë (HVM) është trashja e murit të dhomës kryesore pompuese të zemrës. Më shpesh shkaktohet nga hipertensioni; kontrolli i shkakut mund ta ulë me kohën.
Infarkti i miokardit
Infarkti i miokardit ndodh kur një pjesë e muskulit të zemrës dëmtohet nga mungesa e gjakut, zakonisht për shkak të bllokimit të një arterieje koronare. Është urgjencë — çdo minutë ka rëndësi.
Stenoza e valvulës aortale
Stenoza aortale është ngushtimi i valvulës nga e cila gjaku del nga zemra drejt trupit. Format e lehta ndiqen me ekokardiografi; format e rënda me simptoma trajtohen me zëvendësim të valvulës.
