A cardiology consultation serves as a way for us to discuss your cardiac issues, symptoms you have been experiencing and other concerns you have regarding your heart health. During this comprehensive examination, we will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, perform an echocardiogram (heart sonar) and attain an ECG and possibly perform an exercise treadmill test.
Thereafter we will discuss our findings and advise on further investigations (if necessary) and a treatment plan.
As cardiologists, we are trained to diagnose and treat conditions that affect the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart, arteries and blood vessels. Your heart is your body's life force and ensures that each cell receives oxygen and nutrients via millions of blood vessels and veins. Unfortunately, this complex and fascinating system is prone to conditions that affect the functioning of the heart, such as arrhythmias, pericardial disease and heart failure. Our specialists provide comprehensive services to treat these conditions and monitor your overall heart health.
Heart conditions are not only common - they also tend to be hereditary. Knowing the early signs of heart disease and making an effort to visit a cardiologist can effectively prevent further complications.
