St. John’s Cardiology provides full-time local care for patients,
including diagnosis and treatment of heart problems. Our team works with
your primary care provider to treat and manage your heart condition.
It is well-established that heart disease is the number one killer in the
United States. Many people do not realize they have a problem until they
have a cardiac event. If you or a loved one start having chest pains or
difficulty breathing, do not panic, call 911. At St. John’s Health,
you will be treated by a well-trained and skilled cardiologist.
Preempting a Heart Condition
One of the best defenses against heart disease is awareness. Though heart
conditions rarely result in noticeable symptoms before a cardiac event,
a doctor can assess your likelihood of developing a problem during your
regular physical. If you have enough warning signs for heart disease,
your doctor may refer you to a cardiologist.
Consider visiting a cardiologist if:
Other members of your family have a heart condition
You smoke or smoked regularly in the past
You have high blood pressure
You have high cholesterol
You have infrequent or frequent chest pains
You have diabetes
Always talk with your primary care provider before making a cardiology
appointment
There are numerous ways to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Severe heart conditions may need to be treated with surgery, but in many
cases you can manage the condition with simple life changes like a new
diet or exercise routine.
From echocardiograms to cardiac rehabilitation, St. John’s has many
services and modalities for the detection and treatment of heart disease.
