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.

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.
