A cardiologist is a physician trained to assess, treat, and prevent heart and vascular disease including heart attacks, arrhythmias, heart failure, and coronary artery disease.
You should see a cardiologist if you are experiencing chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, fatigue or have a family history of heart disease.
Typical tests done in cardiology include an ECG, 24-hour Holter monitor, echocardiogram, stress test, coronary angiogram, cardiac CT/MRI and blood tests for cholesterol and cardiac biomarkers.
Yes, at least some cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, can do procedures such as angioplasty and stenting, TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation), pacemaker placement, and peripheral artery interventions.
Generally, protecting against heart disease is based on a good balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a normal weight, keeping blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes within normal limits, avoiding smoking and regular follow-up for cardiac health.
A general cardiologist will manage the diagnosis and medical management of heart disease, while an interventional cardiologist will perform interventional procedures such as stenting and valve replacement.
