Multidisciplinary care in cardiology embodies a collaborative and patient-centric approach to managing heart-related conditions. It involves a team of diverse specialists, including cardiologists, psychologists, radiologists, dietitians, and physiotherapists, working together to address the multifaceted aspects of cardiac health. This integrated model ensures that patient's receive comprehensive and tailored care, encompassing not only medical treatment but also psychological support, lifestyle guidance, and rehabilitation. It promotes improved outcomes, enhanced patient well-being, and a holistic approach to cardiovascular health.
The various multidisciplinary services offered at Atrius include:
Our cardiac hospital utilises state-of-the-art imaging technologies like 3D echocardiography, cardiac MRI, and coronary CT angiography. These advanced diagnostic tools allow for precise assessment of cardiac structure and function, facilitating accurate diagnoses and personalised treatment plans for conditions such as coronary artery disease, valvular disorders, and congenital heart abnormalities.
Our mental health professionals, including clinical psychologists and therapists, provide one-on-one counselling and group therapy sessions tailored to address the emotional challenges faced by cardiac patient’s. They focus on anxiety, depression, and stress management, helping individuals build resilience and emotional well-being during their cardiac journey.
Registered dietitians with expertise in cardiology collaborate closely with patient’s to create individualised nutrition plans. These plans not only emphasise heart-healthy diets but also address specific dietary restrictions and comorbidities, such as diabetes or hypertension. Patient’s receive practical guidance on portion control, nutrient balance, and managing sodium and cholesterol intake.
Our highly skilled physical therapists specialise in cardiac rehabilitation. They assess patient’s physical conditions and design tailored exercise regimens to improve cardiac fitness, muscle strength, and mobility. These programmes focus on gradual progression, ensuring safe and effective recovery post-cardiac events or surgeries.
Structured patient education programmes empower patient’s with cardiac knowledge including detailed information about specific heart conditions, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options. Patient’s receive practical guidance on adopting heart-healthy lifestyles, managing medications, and recognising warning signs, enabling them to actively participate in their treatment and recovery.
Advancements in medical technology, telehealth, and data integration will further enhance collaboration among specialists. Personalised treatment plans and remote monitoring will become more prevalent, providing patient’s with seamless and comprehensive care.
Our diverse team of specialists, including cardiologists, nurses, dietitians, physical therapists, psychologists, and social workers, work seamlessly together, pooling their expertise to create holistic and personalised care plans. Through open communication, interdisciplinary meetings, and shared decision-making, we ensure that every aspect of a patient’s well-being is considered, fostering optimal cardiovascular health and overall quality of life.
