We specifically use the term clinical cardiology, we are usually referring to non-invasive approaches to heart care. These approaches included important tests such as:
Echocardiography, which uses ultrasound to “see” the heart and evaluate its function and structures
CT scans to provide 3-D images of the heart and blood vessels
Nuclear tests that use radioactive elements to evaluate cardiac function
Stress tests to monitor heart function when you’re exercising or exerting more energy than normal
Remote heart monitoring to get a long-term view of how your heart functions over several days
Frequently, prescription medication, dietary changes, carefully-studied nutritional supplements, exercise programs, and mental health treatment are part of your medical cardiologist’s tool kit for getting and keeping you healthy.
