When should you see a cardiologist?
Chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations or high blood pressure: some symptoms should be assessed by a specialist. At the Europe Hospitals, our Cardiology Department supports you in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
Warning signs you should not ignore
A consultation with a cardiologist may be recommended if you experience:
- chest pain or discomfort;
- unusual shortness of breath;
- palpitations;
- high blood pressure;
- unexplained fatigue;
- a family history of cardiovascular disease.
Early diagnosis often makes it possible to detect heart disease before complications develop.
