When would I need a cardiologist?
If a person has symptoms of a heart condition, their physician may refer them to a cardiologist.
Symptoms that can indicate a heart problem include:
shortness of breath
dizziness
chest pains
changes in heart rate or rhythm
high blood pressure
A cardiologist can carry out tests for a heart murmur or an abnormal heart rhythm.
They often treat patients who have had a heart attack, heart failure, or other heart problems. They help make decisions about heart surgery, heart catheterization, and angioplasty and stenting.
Heart diseases that a cardiologist can help with include:
atherosclerosis
atrial fibrillation
arrhythmias
congenital heart disease
coronary heart disease
congestive heart disease
high blood cholesterol and triglycerides
hypertension
pericarditis
ventricular tachycardia
high blood pressure, or hypertension
The cardiologists in madurai  can give advice about preventing heart disease.
A person may need to see a cardiologist even without symptoms, if they have a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol, if they are or have been a smoker, if they have diabetes, or if they are starting a new exercise program.
A woman who has had pre-eclampsia may be at higher risk of heart problems in a later pregnancy or during the menopause.
