This ensures the consultation is appropriate for your medical needs and facilitates coordination of your care. Please ask your doctor to send a referral request.
- What are some common heart tests Dr. Law might order?
- Common tests include: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound), Stress Test (treadmill or chemical), Holter monitoring (24hr+ ECG), and blood tests (e.g., cholesterol, kidney function). Depending on your situation, she might also consider Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, Cardiac CT, MRI, or referral for Cardiac Catheterization if needed. The reason for each test will be explained.
- 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., Valvular Heart Disease, Atrial Fibrillation, Dyslipidemia); strong family history of heart disease; or managing cardiovascular risk factors in complex patients.
- How important is lifestyle in managing my heart condition?
- Lifestyle choices are extremely important for both preventing and managing cardiovascular disease. Adopting heart-healthy habits—like regular physical activity, a balanced diet low in sodium and unhealthy fats, smoking cessation, stress management, and maintaining a healthy weight—can significantly improve outcomes and complement medical treatments recommended by Dr. Law.
