Cardiologists

Some specialists do primary care. Usually they take the role for people whose main concern is in their area of interest. Some, especially when first starting out, will do primary care to supplement their practice and plan to phase it out as they get busier in their specialty.

As a personal perspective I often find it interesting that they would scoff at the idea of a primary care doc doing their job but yet insist that they can do the primary care just as well as people who specialize in that. If the doctor really was interested in primary care and wanted to do it he would have been a primary care physican. My personal advice it to get your primary care from a doc who finds it interesting and actually wants to do it.

"No documented MI" means no documented (history of) mycardial infarction.

Interventional cardiologists focus on doing catheter-based procedures for diagnosis and treatment of things like heart blockages.
Interventional cardiology refers to non-surgical procedures used in the treatment of coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease and performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Balloon angioplasty, atherectomy (surgical removal of arterial plaque), eximer laser, stent deployment and direct intervention for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) are among the procedures performed by Emory interventional cardiologists.

It most likely stands for: Fellow of the American Academy of Cardiology.**EDIT: I'm actually 99% sure its Fellow of the College of Cardiology or Fellow of the Cardiology College (FACC)**

Heart disease is one of the most serious medical problems anyone can have. After all, if your heart stops working like it should, without proper medical care, your spouse may be looking for your life insurance policy sooner than you expected. That's right, heart disease can be deadly.

If you have chest pains or think you might be having a heart attack, get to the emergency room as quick as possible. Thanks to modern medicine and the latest technology, heart attacks are much more survivable than ever before. Expensive blood clot clearing drugs can provide quick relief and angioplasty and the insertion of stents can get your heart functioning normally. However, once you have been diagnosed with any type of heart disease, you will soon find yourself seeing a cardiologist.

Whether you had a heart attack because of ischemic heart disease where your arteries get blocked by plaque buildup or you have a congenital birth defect and an irregular heart beat, you will need to see your cardiologist on a regular basis.

A cardiologist will know your complete physical history and will be able to monitor your heart over time. They will do all types of tests such as an EKG and perhaps a stress test to see how well your heart is able to pump the blood throughout your body. They can also put you on a regiment of heart medications that can keep your arteries open or regulate your heart beat.

Many heart patients, who have suffered a heart attack years ago, feel perfectly fine most of the time. That is great, but it does not mean that you have a normal healthy heart. Even if you are feeling well, you should not skip your appointment with your cardiologist. Most cardiologists like to see their patients at least every 6 months just to check up on them and make sure nothing has changed since the last visit.

As someone who has a history of a heart problem, you are now in a high-risk category and need to be watched closely. Having no apparent symptoms is no excuse for canceling an appointment with your cardiologist. You may be dangerously close to suffering another heart attack and not even know it.

Your cardiologist can get clues just by listening to your heart and checking your vital signs. If he suspects any abnormalities, he can order some tests to confirm his diagnosis. Even if he does nothing more than ask you how you are feeling and sends you on your way, at least you will have the assurance from a professional that for the time being, your heart is okay.

as a health care practitioner, can you legally and ethically use any title you want? why?

Yes, a Cardiologist is a doctor that specialises in heart problems. You need to complete a medical degree, followed by a residency in Cardiology.

you shall get your heart checked first ... important things come first such as your life.

'Birth' is the act of being born; passage of a child from the uterus.

'Delivery' is giving birth to a child, together with the placenta and membranes.

Homeostasis is not a function carried out solely by the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. It Homeostasis is actually carried out in all cells and all systems.

This might be an indication of how poor your heart is functioning. This question is seeking to answer for something called orthopnea, which is shortness of breath with the change in body position. If positive, this may be a sign of pulmonary edema/effusion, which is fluid in the lungs/chest cavity. When a person with this condition sits up, the fluid would collect at the bottom of the chest cavity and he/she can breath easier, so these patients cannot sleep comfortably while laying flat.

If you suspect that you may have a heart problem, consult a cardiologist immediately. In the event that you have a heart attack, you will be sent to a cardiologist so they can conduct tests on your heart. Cardiologists perform stress tests on the heart to check the blood flow and other vital signs in the body. Heart surgery is also done by a cardiologist. Don't wait until you are in the emergency room to have your heart checked out by a cardiologist.

Patients that have long term heart failure, heart muscle disease, or other irreversible heart injury from coronary artery disease and multiple heart attacks that cant be treated by any other medical or surgical means may be candidates for heart transplant.

The Bundle of His (Hiss) is a bundle of electrical nodes which allow the ventricles to contract. The bundle is located in the ventricular septum which divides the two ventricles and separates into the Perkinje fibers at the apex of the heart. It is located in the myocardium.

A cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in the heart. FACC is an acronym that stands for Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, and FHRS stands for Fellowship in the Heart Rhythm Society.

John Hay - cardiologist - died in 1959.

Sepsis is about the most general term for poising of the cells. But "poisoning of the cells" is never a diagnosis because everything is essentially a cell. You would have to be more specific about which cells where being poisoned. However, in the strictist etymologic sense, cytotoxicity parses to "cell poisoning."

After high school, cardiologists-to-be have to complete an undergraduate degree. Then there is medical school, which generally takes four more years. After medical school, an Internal Medicine residency of three years is required before they can apply for a cardiology fellowship, which can last up to 3-4 additional years before they actually start to practice.
