Cardiologist - what do they do?

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the heart and circulatory system. It is an area of great importance, as heart diseases are among the leading causes of death worldwide. A cardiologist is a specialist who possesses deep knowledge of cardiology and, as a result, is able to diagnose, treat, and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

The role of cardiology is not only to treat but also to educate patients about a healthy lifestyle, which can prevent many conditions. Cardiology involves diagnosing various conditions such as atherosclerosis, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. Diagnostic tests, such as ECG, are fundamental tools in a cardiologist's hands.

Cardiology, as a field, is continuously evolving. Modern technologies and clinical research enable increasingly effective treatment of heart conditions. Cardiology aims not only to treat but also to monitor patients with chronic conditions to ensure they have the highest quality of life.

Contemporary cardiology places significant emphasis on prevention. Specialists educate patients about a healthy lifestyle, ensure regular check-ups, and promote physical activity. Collaboration between the patient and the doctor is key to health and a long life free from heart diseases.

In summary, cardiology is extremely important for public health. A cardiologist, as an expert in this field, takes care of patients' hearts by diagnosing, treating, and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

What diseases does a cardiologist diagnose and treat?

Cardiology is an extremely important branch of medicine, focusing on diagnosing and treating heart and circulatory system diseases. A cardiologist, as a specialist in this field, is responsible for identifying and treating the following conditions:

• Heart failure: a condition where the heart is unable to supply blood to all parts of the body in sufficient amounts.
• Heart rhythm disorders: abnormalities in the heart's beating rhythm.
• Ischaemic heart disease: caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle, potentially leading to a heart attack.
• Hypertension: a condition characterised by high blood pressure. Although it is typically a condition within the scope of hypertension medicine, cardiology also plays an important role in its treatment.
• Arrhythmia: irregular heartbeats.
• Heart diseases: a general term in cardiology for conditions affecting the heart.
• Coronary artery disease: caused by narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries.
• Heart defects: congenital or acquired abnormalities in the heart's structure.
• Chest pain: can be a result of various heart conditions.
• Myocardial infarction: caused by a blockage of blood flow to part of the heart muscle.

Cardiology, as a specialised branch of medicine, provides tools and treatment methods that enable patients to recover and improve their quality of life. Advanced diagnostic and treatment methods in cardiology allow cardiologists to effectively identify and treat many heart diseases. Thanks to advancements in cardiology, patients can expect effective treatment and professional care. Modern cardiology offers a wide range of tests and therapies tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

Pre-infarction state – what should you know?

What is a pre-infarction state?

A pre-infarction state, also known as angina pectoris, is a signal that the heart is not receiving enough oxygen due to the narrowing of the coronary arteries. This can lead to a heart attack, so it is vital to recognise this condition quickly and act accordingly.

What to look out for?

Symptoms of a pre-infarction state can vary. Here are the most common ones:

• Persistent chest pain, especially behind the sternum.
• Pain radiating to shoulders, neck, mandible or back.
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
• Nausea, vomiting, cold sweats.
• Dizziness or weakness.

Why should you consult a doctor?

If you experience any of the above symptoms, contact a doctor immediately. At OrtoGo Medical Centre in Warsaw and Płock, we offer professional cardiology consultations that can save lives. Early diagnosis and treatment of a pre-infarction state can prevent a heart attack and improve health outcomes.

What does a cardiologist visit look like and how should you prepare for it?

A visit to a cardiology specialist involves more than just a conversation with the doctor; it often includes a series of tests to thoroughly assess the condition of your heart. So, what does such a visit entail, and how should you prepare for it?

During the initial visit to the cardiology office, the patient undergoes a detailed interview regarding symptoms and medical history. Cardiology places great emphasis on understanding the patient's health history, as this can be crucial for diagnosis. The cardiologist then conducts a physical examination, including auscultation of the heart.

Among the basic tests offered in cardiology is an ECG. This test is often the first step in diagnosing heart problems. If deemed necessary by the cardiologist, they may refer you for a Holter ECG or Holter pressure monitoring. These more advanced tests allow for extended monitoring of heart function.

Cardiology also highlights the importance of previous patient tests. Before the visit, it is advisable to gather and bring any available test results that could assist the doctor in diagnosing potential heart disease. These might include blood test results, chest X-rays, or previous ECG results.

A visit to the cardiologist is an essential part of maintaining heart and circulatory system health. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare appropriately. Cardiology provides the tools for early diagnosis and effective treatment of heart diseases, but it is the patient's responsibility to ensure these tools are used effectively.
