What does a full cardiological consultation include?

  • A full cardiological consultation includes a detailed evaluation of your heart health through history-taking, physical examination, and a range of diagnostic tests tailored to your symptoms and risk factors.
  • Medical History Review: The cardiologist will ask about symptoms (e.g., chest pain, shortness of breath), family history of heart disease, lifestyle habits (smoking, diet, exercise), and existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
  • Physical Examination: Includes checking blood pressure, heart rate, listening to heart sounds, and examining for signs of fluid retention or poor circulation.
  • Blood Tests
    Cardiac Troponin: Detects heart muscle damage, especially after a suspected heart attack.
    Lipid Profile: Measures cholesterol levels to evaluate risk for coronary artery disease.
    BNP (B-type Natriuretic Peptide): Indicates heart failure if elevated.
    Thyroid Function Tests: Thyroid disorders can affect heart rhythm and rate.
    Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
    Records the heart’s electrical activity to detect arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other abnormalities.
    Echocardiogram
    An ultrasound of the heart that shows its structure and function, including valve performance and pumping efficiency.
  • A full consultation helps:
    Diagnose heart conditions early.
    Tailor treatment plans (medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures).
    Prevent complications like heart attacks or strokes.
    If you’re experiencing symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, or palpitations—or have risk factors like high blood pressure or cholesterol—it’s wise to schedule a cardiology consultation.
