Cardiology

Derived from the Greek words “cardia” and “logy,” the practice of cardiology refers to the study of the heart. Your cardiologist in Brooklyn treats diseases and conditions of the heart ranging from congenital defects to those that develop later in life, such as coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure.

Cardiology doctors are consulted whenever your general or Brooklyn internal medicine doctor believes you may have an underlying heart condition. Your symptoms may include:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Dizzy spells
• Pale gray or blue skin color
• Poor weight gain in children
• Swelling in your extremities

Risk Factors for Cardiology Concerns

Besides congenital defects, several other factors can contribute to your risk for cardiology concerns, such as:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smoking

Procedures Cardiology Doctors Provide

Cardiology doctors have multiple procedures for diagnosing your heart condition. They can also provide solutions to return you to an active and healthy lifestyle. Procedures for diagnoses include:

• An EKG, an electrocardiogram. It’s used to measure the electrical activity in your heart. This gives clues as to your heart’s ability to maintain appropriate rhythms.
• An ECHO or echocardiogram. It uses high frequency sound, like an ultrasound, to provide a detailed picture of your heart for your cardiologist in Brooklyn to view the muscles, valves and vascular tissue.
• An arterial brachial index (ABI). This is a non-invasive test to screen for peripheral arterial disease. Using blood pressure cuffs, your cardiologist takes the pressure in your legs and arms and compares them to check for adequate flow.
• A digital pulse analysis (DPI). This device can detect heart disease and arteriosclerosis by tracking the circulation in your arteries.
• A cardio monitor or halter monitor. This device uses electrocardiography to continuously measure your heart rate and other electrical activity over a 24-hour period. This gives your cardiologist information about your heart’s condition at different times of the day and night for a more complete and accurate picture.
• Cardiac catheterizations. These tests are performed to check the pressure inside your heart and provide pictures of your coronary arteries. This allows your cardiologist to check for blockages or other issues that might be contributing to your symptoms.
