When should I see a cardiologist?

See a cardiologist for chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, high blood pressure, or if you have risk factors like diabetes, obesity, or family history of heart disease.

What tests does a cardiologist typically order?

ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, Holter monitor, lipid profile, and cardiac biomarkers like troponin.
