A cardiology consultation is a comprehensive heart evaluation with a cardiologist.
Cardiology consultations are vital in diagnosing and treating heart conditions. Cardiologists can also help educate patients on lifestyle changes required to prevent a heart condition from worsening or to improve recovery. Usually, your family doctor or nurse practitioner will request a cardiology consultation on your behalf based on your symptoms and medical history, although a general internist or another specialist may also be able to refer you.
