Here are 5 situations when a patient should visit a clinical cardiologist:

1. Chest Pain or Discomfort – If you experience persistent or severe chest pain, pressure, or discomfort, it’s crucial to consult a cardiologist to rule out heart-related issues.
2. Shortness of Breath – Experiencing unexplained shortness of breath during physical activity or at rest can be a sign of heart disease and warrants an evaluation.
3. Irregular Heartbeat – If you notice palpitations, a racing heart, or irregular heartbeats, a cardiologist can conduct tests to determine the underlying cause.
4. High Blood Pressure – If your blood pressure readings are consistently elevated or difficult to manage, a clinical cardiologist can provide specialized treatment options.
5. Family History of Heart Disease – If you have a family history of cardiovascular diseases, early consultation with a cardiologist can help assess your risk and establish a preventive care plan.
