The Specialist
Dr Zama Ramagaga
Cardiologist & Specialist Physician
“Cardiology is a discipline of detail. The right diagnosis comes from time spent with the patient, not only from the images and the tracings.”
Dr Ramagaga practises as both a Cardiologist and a Specialist Physician — a dual scope that matters when cardiac disease arrives alongside diabetes, hypertension or kidney disease, and is best understood as one clinical picture.

Heart Anatomy
A pump, a set of valves and an electrical system — nearly every cardiac condition affects one of the three.
Explore the Heart
Understanding what we are treating
- Coronary artery disease
- Narrowed arteries restricting blood flow to the heart muscle.
- Hypertension
- Silent, common, and one of the strongest modifiable cardiac risk factors.
- Heart failure
- Breathlessness, swelling and fatigue when the heart cannot pump effectively.
- Arrhythmia
- Palpitations and irregular rhythm, including stroke risk in atrial fibrillation.
- Valve disease
- Murmurs and valve narrowing or leakage, assessed with echocardiography.
- Cholesterol & risk
- Individual risk assessment rather than a single laboratory number.
