Cardiologist Near Me

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It’s a common term used to describe different types of heart conditions — the most common of which is called coronary artery disease (CAD), which occurs when plaque made up of cholesterol builds up in the walls of your blood vessels. This causes blood flow to decrease through your vessels. Over time, as the plaque gets bigger, it may potentially block blood flow completely. This can lead to several complications like arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms), heart attacks, and/or heart failure.

A primary care physician (PCP) can treat many conditions, including heart disease. A PCP evaluates your risk for heart disease by looking into your personal and family history; asking about lifestyle habits such as smoking, drug use, and alcohol use; performing a physical examination; and conducting several diagnostic tests like complete blood work. If a PCP determines you have heart disease, they can discuss treatment options with you, and sometimes refer you to a specialist in heart health (cardiologist) to help manage your condition.

Prevention and early treatment are key when it comes to heart disease. Discuss your family history and risk factors with your primary care doctor to manage your care.
