Frequently Asked Questions About Cardiology Services

What does a cardiologist treat?

A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions that affect the heart and cardiovascular system. Common conditions include high blood pressure, heart failure, irregular heart rhythms, heart murmurs, coronary artery disease, high cholesterol, angina, and cardiomyopathy.

When should I see a cardiologist?

You may benefit from seeing a cardiologist if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, heart palpitations, unexplained fatigue, or swelling in your legs or feet. Your primary care provider may also recommend a cardiology consultation if you have risk factors for heart disease or a family history of cardiovascular conditions.

What is atrial fibrillation (AFib)?

Atrial fibrillation, often called AFib, is a common type of irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, and other heart-related complications. A cardiologist can evaluate your condition and recommend treatments to help manage symptoms and reduce health risks.

Can a cardiologist help manage high blood pressure?

Yes. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Cardiologists work with patients to develop treatment plans that may include lifestyle modifications, medication management, and ongoing monitoring to help maintain healthy blood pressure levels.

What is congestive heart failure?

Congestive heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood as effectively as it should. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and reduced physical activity tolerance. Early diagnosis and treatment can help improve symptoms and quality of life.

What is cardiomyopathy?

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that can make it harder for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Depending on the type and severity, treatment may involve medications, lifestyle changes, medical devices, or ongoing cardiology care.

Do I need a referral to see a cardiologist?

Referral requirements may vary depending on your insurance plan and medical needs. If you are experiencing heart-related symptoms or have concerns about your cardiovascular health, contact Burnett Medical Center to learn more about scheduling an appointment.

What can I do to improve my heart health?

Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, avoiding tobacco products, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, and following your provider's recommendations can all help reduce your risk of heart disease and support long-term cardiovascular health.
