- What does a Cardiologist specialize in?
- A Cardiologist is a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system). This includes conditions like coronary artery disease (Post-Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) Care), heart attacks, heart failure (Advanced Dyslipidemia (Cholesterol) Management), arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats like Aortic Valve Disease (Stenosis & Regurgitation)), valve problems, and high blood pressure.
- When might my family doctor refer me to a Cardiologist?
- Referrals are common for symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness or fainting; abnormal ECG or stress test results; known heart conditions requiring specialist management (e.g., Pericardial Diseases (e.g., Pericarditis), Cardiomyopathy (Various Types), Cardiovascular Risk Assessment); strong family history of heart disease; or managing cardiovascular risk factors in complex patients.
- Can heart disease be prevented?
- While some risk factors like age and family history cannot be changed, many key risk factors for heart disease *can* be modified or managed. Controlling high blood pressure, managing cholesterol and diabetes, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating nutritiously, exercising regularly, and managing stress significantly reduce your risk of developing heart disease.
