Frequently Asked Questions About Cardiology

Cardiologists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, valve disease, and congenital heart defects.

You should consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or if you have a family history of heart disease and want a cardiovascular risk assessment.

Common diagnostic tools include ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, Holter monitor, coronary angiography, and blood tests for cardiac markers such as troponin and BNP.

A cardiologist is a physician who manages heart conditions medically or with minimally invasive procedures. A cardiac surgeon performs open-heart surgeries such as bypass grafts and valve replacements.
