Cardiologists

A cardiologist local  is a physician with special training and skill in finding, treating and preventing diseases of the heart like atrial fibrilation cholesterol COPD and blood vessels.  Local Cardiologists work with patients to treat conditions including coronary artery heart  disease, heart attack, atrial fibrillation and irregular heart rhythm. A cardiologist can help you manage risk through nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes.

If you've had a cardiac event, a cardiologist will play a role in recovery after surgery, cardiac rehab and heart medications. Cardiac ablation (also known as catheter ablation or radiofrequency ablation) is a surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to correct arrhythmias, which are problems with your heart’s rhythm. In a normal heart, cells create electrical signals that make the upper and lower chambers of your heart beat regularly. If you have atrial fibrillation (a heart arrythmia), abnormal cells affect the electrical signals and cause rapid or irregular heartbeats. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat, also called an arrhythmia, that can increase your risk of heart failure, stroke, blood clots and other heart conditions

Echocardiography is a form of Cardiology that can help with  A normal heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat, but if you have atrial fibrillation, the atria (upper chambers) beat out of sync with the ventricles (lower chambers). This can cause blood to pool in your atria, causing blood clots that travel to your brain and cause a stroke. There are many reasons why people want to quit smoking. It increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and certain eye diseases. It affects your respiratory health, it’s expensive and it smells bad. Quitting smoking can be a huge challenge for people, whether they’ve smoked for one year or 20.

 Compliance to any prescribed treatment is the number one thing you can do to ensure positive changes and optimal treatment outcomes and seeinga local cardiologist can often help with Research Findings ..

The Canadian Heart Rhythm Society mission is to improve the care of patients through research, advocacy, education and development of best practices in the field of heart rhythm disorders.

If you have concerns or would like more information on heart attacks, it is recommended to consult with a cardiologist. They can provide further guidance and support in managing your heart health.
