Cardiology in Odessa

What are the symptoms of heart and vascular diseases?

Cardiovascular diseases can proceed for a long time without any symptoms. Therefore, when the first signs of a cardiological disease appear, it is necessary to consult a cardiologist immediately.

Symptoms of heart and vascular diseases include:

• pain in the region of the heart (nagging pain in the heart, heart ache and pain in the left arm), chest, interscapular region;
• dizziness;
• changes in blood pressure;
• swelling of the hands and feet;

How does a cardiologist diagnose the heart?

The reception of a cardiologist includes examination of the patient and interviewing. The doctor then refers the patient for a heart examination, which will allow an accurate diagnosis.

Heart diagnosing methods include:

• electrocardiogram (ECG);
• Holter ECG monitoring;
• echocardiography (ultrasound of the hear);
• heart examination under stress (stress echocardiography).

Cardiac examination, if necessary, may include lab tests (blood and urine tests, troponin test). In addition, a cardiologist can refer a patient for consultation by other specialists. So, a neurologist should be consulted if there is suspicion of intercostal neuralgia, and a psychotherapist should be consulted for psychosomatic causes of heartache.

After checking the cardiovascular system, a doctor prescribes an individual treatment regimen for cardiovascular disease. The therapy course takes place under the supervision of a cardiologist until a patient recovers.
