Cardiology Department at Hospital Angeles. Cardiologists specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Learn more about us.
Cardiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and circulatory system.
The symptoms of heart disease can vary, but the most common ones include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, and dizziness.
You should see a cardiologist if you experience symptoms of heart disease, if you have a family history of heart problems, if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or if your doctor recommends it.
The cardiology department performs a variety of tests to diagnose heart disease, including electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac catheterizations, among others.
Treatment for heart disease may include lifestyle changes, medications, invasive procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery, and cardiac rehabilitation. Treatment will depend on the type and severity of the disease.
