Cardiologist
Cardiology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases—conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. These diseases are among the leading causes of illness and mortality worldwide, which is why cardiology consultations play a vital role in maintaining heart health.
Cardiovascular diseases can develop for a long time without obvious symptoms. For this reason, the cardiologist has a dual mission: to help patients who already show signs of heart disease, and to provide preventive evaluations for individuals who appear healthy but are exposed to risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, stress, sedentary lifestyle, and family history.
What a cardiology consultation at CardioPrima includes
The consultation is comprehensive and consists of several stages:
- Patient interview (medical history): the doctor asks about symptoms (chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath), personal and family medical history, lifestyle, and current treatments.
- Clinical examination: auscultation of the heart and lungs, blood pressure measurement, pulse assessment, and evaluation of edema and other relevant signs.
- Review of existing investigations: interpretation of electrocardiograms, echocardiography, or other previously performed tests.
- Assessment of the need for additional investigations: resting ECG, stress test, Holter ECG or blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography, etc.
- Treatment plan and recommendations: establishing the therapeutic strategy, lifestyle advice, and recommendations for regular follow-up.
Who should consider a cardiology consultation
- Individuals with cardiac symptoms (chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, unusual fatigue).
- Patients with cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, family history of heart disease.
- People seeking a preventive heart evaluation, especially after the age of 40.
- Patients already undergoing cardiology treatment who require regular monitoring.
