What is cardiology?
Cardiology is the medical specialism that deals with your heart and any symptoms or conditions that might affect it. A heart specialist is known as a cardiologist.
If you are having symptoms that could indicate a condition or a problem with your circulation, you might be referred to see a consultant cardiologist. They will run tests to find out what is causing your symptoms. Once they have reached a diagnosis, they will advise you on the best treatments to help manage or reduce the problem. These could be anything from simple lifestyle changes to major surgery.


When might I need to see a cardiologist?


There are many different conditions that can affect your heart and its ability to pump blood round your body. Heart problems are more common than you might think.
Statistics from The British Heart Foundation show that more than 160,000 people die each year in the UK because of heart and circulatory diseases. An estimated 43,000 of those people are under 75.
Heart health is closely tied to your overall health. Even seemingly innocuous cardiological problems, for example high blood pressure, can lead on to further health complications.
If you are at all worried that you might have a problem with your heart, a cardiologist can help you to get an accurate picture of the health of your cardiovascular system and advise you on how to take control of your heart health.
It's especially important to keep an eye on your heart health if you have a family history of heart disease or heart problems, if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or if you have a condition that is known to contribute to or be related to heart disease - for example diabetes problems.

People commonly visit our consultant cardiologists with symptoms such as:
• Chest pains
• High blood pressure
• Low blood pressure
• Shortness of breath
• Heart palpitations
• Dizzy spells or fainting
• Unexplained weakness or fatigue
• Rapid or irregular pulse
• Anxiety
These symptoms can all be signs of many things, not just heart disease, but your GP or consultant will be able to tell you whether you need investigative tests.
