Cardiovascular Disease is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of heart diseases and conditions. A Cardiologist will see patients with heart disease symptoms such as coronary artery disease, heart attack, vascular heart disease, rhythm disturbances, a weak heart muscle or heart failure or symptoms of heart disease, such as angina (chest pain due to lack of blood supply to the heart), shortness of breath, palpitations, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attack.
Health problems or concerns related to the heart should be taken very seriously. If you or your primary care physician is suspicious about the health of your heart, a Cardiologist can evaluate you and perform various tests to determine if you have any heart issues. A Cardiologist can request that you have a test done. Some test may include an EKG, echocardiogram, stress test, catheterization, heart monitors and others. The results of these tests will help the Cardiologist identify heart disease and help determine the best treatment.
