A first cardiology visit involves a detailed medical history, physical exam (including listening to your heart and checking your blood pressure in both arms), and an electrocardiogram (EKG). Depending on your symptoms, the cardiologist may order an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), stress test, or blood work. They will explain their findings and outline a treatment plan.
If you're referred to Mayo Clinic, be prepared for a structured intake process. They coordinate across departments, so a single visit may involve multiple specialists in one day.

Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) from desert soil fungus is a condition that primary care doctors in Scottsdale screen for regularly, especially in patients new to the area.
Chest pain has many causes, from muscle strain to heart disease. A cardiologist performs the testing needed to determine whether your heart is the source and develops a treatment plan if it is.
A heart that beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly may need treatment. Cardiologists use EKGs, Holter monitors, and other tools to diagnose the rhythm problem and determine the best approach.
Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped. It means it is not pumping as efficiently as it should. Cardiologists manage this condition with medications, lifestyle changes, and monitoring to keep you stable.
When blood pressure is resistant to standard treatment or is causing organ damage, a cardiologist provides advanced evaluation and treatment strategies beyond what primary care typically offers.
Recovering from a cardiac event requires close monitoring, medication optimization, and cardiac rehabilitation. Your cardiologist guides the recovery process and works to prevent future events.
