Cardiologist
Most people looking to consult a heart specialist are right to go find a cardiologist – and there are nearly 35,000 cardiologists listed on doctor.com. But what should you do before going to your appointment? Make sure you can provide the cardiologist with accurate information: your own medical history, your family history, any recent test results and your current medications list are key.
A complete and honest description of your symptoms will help the cardiologist provide the best possible care, so don’t withhold information from your heart specialist – even small things that seem unrelated, or don’t seem like they’d matter, are important for the doctor to know.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, especially if your concerns a new and a bit frightening. Those questions help your cardiologist, because good communication is an integral part of your healing process, too, and makes you an active partner in treatment options and planning.
