About cardiology

Cardiology combines long-term care of hypertension, coronary disease, heart failure and arrhythmia with urgent decisions about chest pain. The record has to hold years of history, repeated tests and small medication changes, and still be readable in a two-minute review.

Chest painStable anginaOld myocardial infarctionHeart failureAtrial fibrillationPalpitations and syncopeHypertensive heart diseaseRheumatic heart diseasePeripheral artery diseaseDyslipidemia

What makes this specialty hard to run

The operational problems a system has to answer, before any feature list.

  1. 01

    Patients return for years, so the record has to stay readable across dozens of visits.

  2. 02

    Every consultation pulls in diagnostics such as ECG, echo and lipid panels, and they arrive at different times.

  3. 03

    Anticoagulation and rate control turn on risk scores that have to be worked out at the point of decision.

  4. 04

    Procedure and package billing sits alongside ordinary consultation fees.

How Nirogix supports cardiology

Grouped the way the day runs. Every line says whether it is in the product today or planned.

Available todayPlanned, not available yet

Clinical pathways are reference content your clinical team reviews and edits as its own; nothing is ordered or prescribed until a doctor chooses it. Calculators inform a decision and do not write to the record. A line that needs a particular module names it.

The cardiac consultation

  • Ten cardiology pathways ready on day one: chest pain, stable angina, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, palpitations, syncope, rheumatic heart disease and more
  • A CVS line in the systemic examination, and peripheral pulses, cyanosis, clubbing and edema as structured signs
  • Diagnoses coded from common cardiac ICD-10-CM codes, from hypertension to heart failure and atrial fibrillation
  • With the Cardiology module, NYHA and CCS class, and ECG, echo, treadmill and Holter reports recorded as structured findings

Risk scores at the point of decision

  • CHA₂DS₂-VASc, HAS-BLED, QTc, TIMI, Framingham and the Revised Cardiac Risk Index in the consultation, pre-filled from the chart
  • With the Cardiology module, CHA₂DS₂-VASc, HAS-BLED, TIMI, Framingham and QTc stored on the record with their inputs, each computed by the server
  • The HEART score and ASCVD risk(planned)

Investigations

  • Troponin, lipids, renal function and electrolytes ordered in the consultation, each result beside its order and flagged against your reference ranges
  • Chest X-ray, CT and ultrasound studies ordered with the Radiology module, with the signed report returned to the record
  • An ECG tracing or an outside echo report attached to the patient’s record
  • Trends of blood pressure, lipids and INR across visits(planned)

Chronic cardiac care

With the General Medicine and Primary Care module.

  • Hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure and dyslipidemia registers, each patient with the target you set
  • Control judged at each review against blood pressure or LDL, and the overdue list worked from the register
  • With the Cardiology module, cardiology reviews with their own due list

Prescriptions and follow-up

  • Prescriptions from your formulary, and the last plan reusable as a tick list at the next visit
  • Recorded allergies shown above the medicines, and the exact drug an allergy names flagged
  • A follow-up date in one press, listed on your dashboard until booked, and a reminder by SMS or WhatsApp through your own accounts
  • Drug interaction checking(planned)

In the hospital

  • Chest pain triaged in the emergency department by category and minutes waited
  • Admission to a ward or the ICU, with an hourly bedside chart and alarm limits the doctor sets for each patient
  • With the Cardiology module, the implanted cardiac device recorded from its card
  • Monitor integration(planned)

What changes for the practice

Scores where the decision is made

Anticoagulation and perioperative risk calculators open inside the consultation, already filled from the chart.

A history that stays readable

Every visit, result and prescription in date order on one record, and a case for each condition’s course.

Chronic patients on a list

Registers show who is off target and who is overdue, rather than waiting for them to come back.

Results back where they were ordered

Tests and imaging return to the consultation that asked for them, flagged and signed.

The modules a practice like this turns on

Modules are entitlements: enable what you need now and add the rest when you are ready. Nothing is re-implemented per specialty.

What gets configured for you

Diagnostic test catalog with reference rangesProvider slots for follow-up-heavy schedulesConsultation fee and investigation pricing

Most specialties differ in configuration rather than code: the same modules are enabled and set up differently. Where a specialty has a module of its own (twenty-three today, from Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Dentistry to Cardiology, Oncology and Nephrology), it is switched on per hospital. Where a specialty needs a capability the platform does not have yet, we say so during the demo rather than after you buy.

Questions we are asked

Can we record ECGs in Nirogix?

Yes, with the Cardiology module: rate, rhythm, intervals and the interpretation as reported, with QTc stored with its inputs. The tracing itself is not stored in the record; attach it to the patient’s documents.

Which cardiac calculators are included?

CHA₂DS₂-VASc, HAS-BLED, QTc, TIMI, Framingham and the Revised Cardiac Risk Index, among fifty calculators in the consultation. They inform the decision; the Cardiology module stores CHA₂DS₂-VASc, HAS-BLED, TIMI, Framingham and QTc on the record with their inputs.

Can we follow INR for patients on warfarin?

PT and INR come back to the consultation with their flags, and every earlier result stays on the record in date order. A trend chart is planned.

Is there a cardiology module?

Yes, switched on per hospital: the cardiac assessment, ECG, echo, treadmill, Holter and angiography reports, device records, stored risk scores and a review due list. Its forms are being reviewed by a cardiologist before customer use. Without it, cardiology runs on the shared consultation, pathways, laboratory, radiology and hospital modules.
