Cardiologists are responsible for evaluating the condition of your heart
and cardiovascular system as a whole. Their diagnosis provides a clear
picture of what type of treatment a patient will need, whether that is
direct intervention, surgery, drug therapy, or lifestyle changes. Cardiologists
may only see a patient once, or they may take leadership of a patient’s
continuing treatment.
If a patient requires immediate intervention—such as when a patient
has a blockage keeping blood from vital areas—cardiologists will
act quickly to ensure patients are kept safe and healthy. These can include
implanting stents, angioplasty, or
minimally invasive procedures that do not require open chest surgery. These procedures are
all performed in the catheterization lab (or “cath lab”).
If your heart health is in question, our Virginia cardiologists can help
find the treatment that is right for you.
