Cardiologist

What does a cardiologist do?

A cardiologist deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, heart defects and hypertension. Symptoms of problems with this system include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and fainting, rapid fatigue, and the sensation of an uneven heartbeat.

Scope of consultation

During the consultation, the cardiologist: conducts a history and physical examination, makes a diagnosis and informs about further treatment, issues referrals for examinations, consultations, hospitalizations, issues sick leave.

At the appointment, the doctor can take blood pressure measurements.

Visit details:

• The consultation lasts 15 minutes.
• You must arrive no later than 15 minutes before the appointment.
• Implementation of the service is possible only at the medical facility indicated during the purchase.
• If you want to find a specialist who speaks a foreign language, we recommend reading the profile of the doctor in question.

How to prepare for an appointment with a cardiologist?

Before coming in for a consultation, prepare:

• results of current laboratory and imaging tests, if they have been performed;
• information about past surgeries and hospital stays, and medications taken (including dosage).

During your visit, tell your doctor about any worrisome symptoms. Be sure to indicate how long they have been occurring, with what frequency they appear, and whether there has been a recent increase.
 

Cardiology teleconsultation

A telemedicine consultation can be used by any patient, regardless of location and previous treatment history.

During the telephonic consultation, the doctor will carry out any services that can be performed remotely. However, during the course of the medical interview, it may turn out that an in-patient visit is necessary, without which a correct diagnosis and treatment selection cannot be made. 

The specialist will try to connect with the patient three times.

Important information: The doctor can only see the results of tests and consultations performed at the Damian Medical Center. You can send a scan of your medical records from other facilities, e.g. test results, to: wynikibadan@damian.pl at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment. It will then be attached to your medical record and the doctor will see it at the appointment. When you book an appointment identified as a Teleportation, you are purchasing a telephone consultation, not an office visit. The office addresses displayed in the schedule only indicate where the doctor works. When purchasing a consultation, we strongly request that you use a phone number registered in Poland - it is only possible to have a telemedicine consultation from a Polish phone number.
