Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a cardiologist?
If you have symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations), significant risk factors, abnormal tests, or family history of heart disease. Your primary care doctor may also refer you.
What is a stress test?
An exercise test monitoring your heart's response to physical exertion. You walk on a treadmill while heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. It detects coronary artery disease and evaluates exercise capacity.
How often should I have my cholesterol checked?
Generally every 4-6 years for healthy adults. More frequently if you have elevated levels, cardiovascular disease, or are on treatment.
Can heart disease be prevented?
Many heart conditions are preventable through healthy lifestyle: not smoking, regular exercise, healthy diet, maintaining normal weight, and controlling blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
What is an echocardiogram?
An ultrasound of the heart showing heart structure, valve function, and heart muscle performance. It's painless and uses no radiation.
Is cardiac rehabilitation important?
Yes. Cardiac rehabilitation after heart events or procedures improves outcomes, reduces future events, and enhances quality of life. Our integrated rehabilitation services support cardiac recovery.
