What is heart disease?
Heart disease refers to diseases that affect the structure or function of the heart. Examples include:
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Arrhythmias
- Heart valve disease
- Cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle)
- Heart abnormalities present at birth
Heart disease affects every organ in your body and is responsible for 20% of all deaths in the United States.
When should I see a cardiologist for heart disease treatment?
If you have any type of heart disease, you should see a cardiologist for a treatment plan. Cardiology At Home offers comprehensive care for heart disease, from prevention to early detection to advanced treatments.
The Cardiology At Home team takes a patient-centered approach, asking detailed questions about your health and goals. They review medical history, family history, eating habits, exercise routine, and stressors.
They may request diagnostic testing to assess heart function and the severity of your disease. Testing may depend on your heart disease diagnosis.
The telehealth practice may use remote patient monitoring devices like a pacemaker to track heart health from a distance. These devices collect and transmit health information to the office, allowing the team to closely monitor various health markers while you go about your usual routine.
The monitoring devices give the doctors a chance to see how your treatment plan works in real life and make adjustments so it works better for you.
What are examples of heart disease treatment?
Heart disease treatment varies widely based on disease type and severity, age, and overall health. The Cardiology At Home team talks to you about your heart condition and treatment options.
Heart disease treatment may include:
Lifestyle changes
Lifestyle changes are part of all heart disease treatment plans. A heart-healthy lifestyle means maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and finding healthy outlets to relieve stress.
Your heart disease treatment from Cardiology At Home may start with lifestyle changes.
Medications
Heart disease treatment medications depend on diagnosis. These medications reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
Procedures
The doctor may recommend a procedure if medical interventions aren’t enough to improve heart function.
Heart disease treatment is individualized, so you get the best outcomes. Call Cardiology At Home today or book an appointment online to get the attentive care you expect.
