    FAQ's Related to Cardiologist

    Do cardiologists conduct surgeries?

    The majority of cardiologists do not conduct open-heart surgeries. Instead, they would diagnose and treat heart problems via medication, lifestyle plans, and minimally invasive procedures. For these cases, they would consult with a cardiac surgeon.

    When is it appropriate to see a cardiologist?

    If you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, trouble breathing, heart palpitations, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue, you should consult a cardiologist. Furthermore, anyone with diabetes, high cholesterol, or a positive family history of heart disease should follow up with a cardiologist.

    What procedures does a cardiologist conduct?

    Cardiologists will perform tests such as ECG, an echocardiogram, and a stress test. Interventional cardiologists may also do procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, or other catheter-based procedures to open blocked arteries.

    How is a cardiologist different from a cardiac surgeon?

    A cardiologist diagnoses and treats heart problems with medication and minor procedures. A cardiac surgeon, on the other hand, does open-heart surgery or major heart surgery such as bypass surgery or valve replacement.

    Can I see a cardiologist without having symptoms?

    Yes. Many patients see cardiologists for preventive care. Some patients have a strong family history of heart disease or lifestyle risks, or diabetes or hypertension.
