A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, swelling, high or low blood pressure, or a feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat.
A cardiologist treats conditions such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, and other cardiovascular disorders. The specialist selects an individual diagnostic and treatment program, helps reduce the risk of complications, and works to improve the patient’s quality of life.
