Heart diseases In heart diseases, or cardiology, we treat heart diseases requiring specialist medical care. We treat coronary artery disease, various types of arrhythmia, cardiac insufficiency, and valvular diseases. Anyone can seek treatment with us on a physician's referral, regardless of their place of residence in Finland. Nationally, we have the responsibility for: Severe congenital heart defects in adults Examination and treatment of hereditary arrhythmias Examination and treatment of hereditary cardiomyopathy Heart transplantations. We provide emergency services for sudden heart attacks around the clock, every day of the year. Congenital heart defects occurring in adulthood Some congenital heart defects occur only in adulthood. In this case, the most common defects are: Cardiovascular shunting caused by atrioventricular septal defect in its various forms (ASD, pAVSD/primum ASD) Partially abnormal pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) Problems associated with a congenital bicuspid aortic valve (valve leakage and dilation of the ascending aorta). Shunting may be caused by a septal defect, in which case blood will partially circulate in the wrong direction inside the heart. The workload of the heart increases, as is also the case if pulmonary venous drainage to the heart is abnormal. Gradually there will be symptoms, the most common of which are shortness of breath, fatigue, and atrial arrhythmias. Similar symptoms can also be caused by a regurgitant aortic valve, as this also results in the workload of the heart increasing. At Meilahti Tower Hospital, we perform approximately 20–30 surgical repair procedures for congenital heart defects in adult patients each year.
