FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS RELATED TO CARDIAC CARE AT LEE HEALTH

When should I be referred to a cardiologist?

Any time you have a significant heart or related condition, you may require the
attention of a cardiologist. Their skills and training are required for
decisions about heart catheterization, balloon angioplasty, heart surgery and
other procedures.

Your cardiologist will review your medical history and perform a physical
examination which may include checking your blood pressure, weight, heart, lungs
and blood vessels. While some problems may be diagnosed from this examination,
your cardiologist may order an ECG, x-ray or blood tests. In addition, an
ambulatory ECG, echocardiogram, exercise test, heart catheterization and/or
nuclear imaging may be required.

What is the difference between a cardiologist and an interventional
cardiologist?

Interventional cardiologists have additional training that allow them to perform
"interventions," meaning they can insert stents, perform angioplasty and other
similar procedures.

Are cardiologists board certified?

At each stage of their training, these specialists must pass rigorous exams that
test their knowledge and judgment, as well as their ability to provide superior
care.

Cardiologists, pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons must first become
board-certified in their primary specialty (internal medicine, pediatrics and
surgery respectively), and then certified in their subspecialty (cardiology,
pediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery respectively).

What does F.A.C.C. mean after a doctor's name?

If your cardiology specialist adds F.A.C.C. — Fellow of the American College of
Cardiology — to his or her name, it is a sign of significant accomplishment and
commitment to a profession, a specialty, and to the provision of the best health
care for the patient.

Election to ACC membership is based on training, specialty board certification,
scientific and professional accomplishments, length of active participation in a
cardiovascular-related field, and peer recognition. Members are expected to
conform to high moral and ethical standards.

How do I know if I need a cardiac surgeon?

If your general doctor or cardiologist feels that surgery may be the best
treatment for your heart condition and medication alone will not be enough, then
you will be referred to a cardiac surgeon for further evaluation. The surgeon
will review your medical records and tests, especially the heart catheterization
results, if bypass, cardiac valve or heart surgery for a congenital defect is
being considered. The cardiac surgeon will then discuss your case with you and
your doctors, to give further advice about the risks and benefits of surgery.

Cardiac surgeons perform many operations in our hospitals, including - coronary
artery bypass, heart rhythm surgery, valve replacement or repairs, and repairs
of complex heart problems present from birth (congenital heart disease). They
also are qualified to operate on organs other than the heart, such as the lungs,
esophagus and blood vessels.
