What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing heart and cardiovascular diseases.

The heart is a complex organ, and cardiologists are trained to manage conditions that affect its function, including issues with blood vessels, heart rhythm, and overall circulation. Cardiology plays a vital role in maintaining heart health and improving patients ‘ quality of life, from managing high blood pressure and cholesterol to treating more serious conditions like heart attacks and heart failure.

Who Needs Cardiology?

Cardiology care is crucial for anyone with heart-related health concerns or risks for cardiovascular disease. Routine check-ups with a cardiologist can help detect early warning signs and provide proactive care to avoid more serious conditions. You may need to seek cardiology services if you experience any of the following:

  • Family history of heart disease
  • High blood pressure or cholesterol levels
  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Shortness of breath, especially with minimal exertion
  • Persistent fatigue or weakness
  • History of smoking or diabetes
  • Irregular heartbeats or palpitations
  • Swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet

What Conditions are Treated with Cardiology?

Cardiology addresses a wide range of conditions that affect the heart and cardiovascular system. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing these conditions effectively. Southern Inyo Hospital’s cardiology services focus on providing expert care for various heart-related conditions, including: 

  • Stroke prevention
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms)
  • Heart valve disease
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle)
  • Peripheral artery disease
  • High cholesterol
  • Heart attacks

How Does Cardiology Work? 

Cardiology care begins with an in-depth consultation, during which your cardiologist reviews your medical history, current symptoms, and risk factors.

Diagnostic tests may be conducted to assess your heart function. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to restore heart function and reduce risks.

At Southern Inyo Hospital, our cardiologists work closely with each patient to ensure they receive tailored care that meets their needs. We aim to help you live a healthier, more active life with the confidence that your heart health is in expert hands.

The staff was excellent, the service and patient care were outstanding. I was blown away by how attentive and efficient the ER was with my dad. I Could not be more satisfied. I’m used to large big city hospitals and the service here beat all of them. Great work.

Cardiology Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the most common signs of heart disease?

Some of the most common signs of heart disease include chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and swelling of the legs. Fatigue, dizziness, and fainting can also be symptoms to look out for.

How can I reduce my risk of heart disease?

There are several steps you can take to reduce your risk of heart disease. Eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking, and receiving regular check-ups can also help decrease your risk of heart disease.

How often should I have my heart checked if I have no symptoms?

It’s typically recommended to have your heart checked every few years, even if you aren’t experiencing any symptoms. The older you are, the more important this is. That said, if you have certain risk factors like a family history of heart disease, you may need check-ups more regularly.

When should I see a cardiologist instead of my primary care doctor?

If you are at a higher risk of heart disease or are experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms, you should see a cardiologist as well as your primary care doctor. Your primary care doctor may also recommend that you see a cardiologist.

How can I manage high blood pressure without medication?

There are a number of ways to control your high blood pressure without taking medication. Sticking to a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, reducing salt in your diet, quitting smoking, and getting enough sleep can all help manage high blood pressure.
