General Cardiology Information

Heart disease is a complex heart condition that requires a skilled specialist. The initial heart or vascular disease diagnosis typically begins with your primary care doctor, who then gets you in touch with a cardiologist. The cardiologist runs various tests to determine your condition and what treatments are best to achieve better health. If surgery is necessary, a referral to a cardiovascular surgeon may be required. Because cardiology is a complex field, many cardiologists specialize in different practice areas. Finding which specialist is right for you is critical in receiving the proper treatment.
