Cardiologists diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. Their expertise includes assessing heart health and interpreting diagnostic tools like electrocardiograms.

Consult a cardiologist if your primary care physician recommends it due to symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or hypertension. Early detection and treatment of heart conditions are crucial for optimal cardiovascular health.

Your initial consultation with a cardiologist will involve a thorough review of your medical history and assessment of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. A physical examination will be conducted, including measurement of blood pressure and heart rate, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed. This comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation aids in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Cardiologists utilize various diagnostic tests to identify blocked arteries, including cholesterol screening, electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray, coronary CT angiography, ultrasound, echocardiogram, and angiogram. These methods help assess artery health and detect blockages.

Direct consultation with a cardiologist is recommended if you have a family history of early-onset heart disease (below age 55 for men and 65 for women). A cardiologist can evaluate your risk and provide appropriate treatment and management for genetic heart conditions.
