      What is a cardiologist?          

      A cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels (e.g., arteries, capillaries, veins, etc). A cardiologist manages conditions such as heart attacks, heart failure, and high blood pressure with medications, lifestyle changes, and various procedures.   

      What is the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon?    

      There are many types of doctors who help keep people’s hearts healthy. A cardiac surgeon, for example, performs surgeries on the heart, including heart bypass surgeries, valve repairs or replacements, and heart transplants. A cardiologist focuses on treating heart problems through non-surgical methods, such as medications, and surgical procedures, such as angioplasty

      What does a cardiologist treat?

         A cardiologist treats many heart-related conditions, including:  

      • Pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart) 

       

      When should I see a cardiologist?  

      You should consider getting a referral to a cardiologist if you experience the following: 

      • Your primary care doctor recommends a heart evaluation 
      • Chest pain or discomfort 
      • Shortness of breath 
      • Palpitations (irregular or rapid heartbeats) 
      • A family history of heart disease 

      What tests are available for heart disease? 

       Several tests can help diagnose heart disease, including: 

      • Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): Measures the electrical activity of the heart 
      • Echocardiogram: Uses ultrasound to create images of the heart

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Cardiologist near Forest Park,, GA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Cardiologists near Forest Park,, GA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Cardiologists near Forest Park,, GA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network.

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile.

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Cardiologist?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.

      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.
