The cardiologist’s consultation is focused on both the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. Among the conditions routinely treated are:
- High blood pressure
- Heart failure
- Arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, extrasystoles, tachycardia)
- Ischemic heart disease (angina, previous heart attack)
- Dyslipidemias (high cholesterol, triglycerides)
- Nonspecific chest pain
- Palpitations and heart rhythm disturbances
- Dyspnea or fatigue due to cardiac causes
- Cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with a family history
- Postoperative follow-up in patients with cardiovascular procedures
Diagnostic tests
The equipment at Clínica Magnasalud allows for the following: Tests:
- Electrocardiogram: Measures the heart’s electrical activity and allows for the detection of arrhythmias or signs of ischemia.
- Color Doppler echocardiogram: Ultrasound study that evaluates the size, function, and valves of the heart during movement.
- Ergometry or stress test: Evaluates the heart’s behavior during controlled physical exercise.
- Holter ECG: Continuous monitoring of heart rhythm to detect arrhythmias that do not appear in the office visit.
- Cardiology checkup: Includes review of medical history, physical examination, and report. Depending on the patient, this may include an electrocardiogram or blood tests.
