When to see a cardiologist:

Everyone should know the first signs of cardiovascular disorders in order to seek help from a doctor in the cardiology department. You should not delay a cardiology consultation if you experience:

Heart disease often develops gradually. Early diagnosis allows timely intervention and prevention of complications. Cardiologists at GMS Clinic approach each case with care and precision and will offer you personalized solutions for any cardiovascular condition.

The most common conditions treated by a cardiologist are:

1. Arterial hypertension
2. Dyslipidemia (elevated cholesterol levels)
3. Coronary artery disease (including myocardial infarction and unstable angina)
4. Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias, extrasystoles)
5. Heart failure (shortness of breath, edema, progressive weakness)
6. Post–myocardial infarction and post–cardiac surgery conditions
7. Prevention of thrombosis and thromboembolism in high-risk patients (atrial fibrillation, varicose veins, oncological conditions)
