Medical Cardiology

Medical cardiology is the management of cardiac disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure and the other associated elements of heart disease.

 

Aurora BayCare Cardiology offers the latest innovations in cardiac care, including state-of-the-art tests and procedures to assist in accurate diagnosis, treatment planning and cardiac disease monitoring.

 

We also offer heart disease prevention programs.

 

Heart Disease Prevention

If you have a family history of heart disease, smoke, are overweight or regularly experience high levels of stress, you are at a higher risk of developing heart disease. Our team of cardiologists, registered nurses and physician assistants can recommend a personalized heart disease prevention program to reduce your risk including:

 

• Goals for a healthy lifestyle
• Medication
• Cholesterol management
• High blood pressure management

Our cardiology team also helps you manage other health conditions, such as diabetes or depression, which can impact heart health. They will provide education and support to help you make the necessary lifestyle changes toward one goal: to reduce your risk for heart disease.

 

Managing Heart Disease

If you have already been diagnosed with heart disease, we can help you live better and lead a healthier, more active life.

 

Managing your heart disease requires many of the same activities recommended for people looking to limit their risk of contracting the disease. We want to prevent your heart disease from progressing, or even reverse your condition when possible.

 

Your cardiologist may recommend:

 

• Cardiac monitoring
• 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
• Stress tests
• Education to recognize the symptoms of heart failure
• Additional diagnostic tests, therapeutic procedures or surgery

Our specialists manage a full range of heart disease and cardiovascular disorders. Ongoing improvements in testing, cardiac medications and cardiac rehabilitation means more patients can stabilize and improve their heart health with attentive, noninvasive care.

 

For your convenience, you may request an appointment online.
