What symptoms are noticeable?

Cardiologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases or conditions of the heart and blood vessels — the cardiovascular system.

The cardiologist will evaluate your symptoms, review your medical history, and may recommend diagnostic tests to appropriately diagnose the cause of your symptoms and help your cardiology care team evaluates the best form of treatment for you.

Examples of symptoms that suggest you may need a referral to a cardiologist to include:

  •  Chest discomfort
  •  Shortness of breath
  •  Swelling in your legs
  •  High blood pressure
  •  Abnormally fast or slow heart rate
  •  Dizziness or fainting
  •  Strong family history of premature heart disease or cardiac death
  •  Leg pain or ulcers resulting from blood vessel diseases
