HOW IT WORKS

Diagnosis

Cardiologists use tests like EKGs, echocardiograms, and blood tests to diagnose heart conditions like arrhythmias, heart disease, and valve problems.

Risk Assessment

Cardiologists assess risk factors such as high cholesterol, blood pressure, and family history to prevent heart disease and monitor cardiovascular health

Treatment

Cardiologists prescribe medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures (e.g., angioplasty, bypass surgery) to treat heart disease and improve heart function.

Intervention

Interventional cardiology uses catheter-based techniques, such as angioplasty and stenting, to open blocked arteries and restore normal blood flow to the heart.

Electrophysiology

Electrophysiologists treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) using diagnostic tools and treatments like pacemakers, ablation, and defibrillators.

Heart Failure Management

Cardiologists manage chronic heart failure with medications, lifestyle changes, and advanced therapies like heart transplantation and ventricular assist devices.
