Heart surgery is a procedure used to replace or repair heart valves damaged by disease or damage due to coronary artery disease.
A cardiologist is a doctor specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and blood vessels: the cardiovascular system. Performs tests such as electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and stress tests to evaluate heart health and offers personalized treatments that may include medications, lifestyle changes, and surgical procedures. It is advisable to see a cardiologist if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, palpitations, dizziness, or if you have a family history of heart disease.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats heart surgery you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
