Management of heart disease

With advances in surgery and new drugs, treatments for heart disease are varied and allow patients to regain a better quality of life.

Heart murmur

Although impressive, it does not always indicate heart disease. To ensure that it is not the result of physiological disorders, further tests should be carried out.

Holters

The Holter test is used to detect potential heart diseases. Our cardiologists are well aware of the role of prevention and early diagnosis.

Why consult a cardiologist in Barcelona?

Cardiology is the medical speciality that deals with the cardiovascular system as a whole, i.e. the heart and vessels (arteries and veins). If you have a known heart disease (high blood pressure, heart failure, heart rhythm disorders, angina, atherosclerosis) or have had a particular problem with the cardiovascular system (such as a heart attack), you will need to be monitored regularly by a cardiologist.

But beyond the care provided to patients suffering from heart problems, the cardiologist also has an important role to play in terms of prevention, and it is in the interest of all those at risk to consult him: diabetics, overweight patients, hypertensives, hypercholesterolemics, smokers, etc. The same applies to people suffering from symptoms that may be related to heart disease (shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, heart murmur, etc.).

Cardiovascular diseases are still the main cause of death in most Western countries and whether you live in Barcelona or are just passing through, it is important that you know who to consult if you have any concerns about your cardiovascular system.

Preparing for your visit to the cardiologist: advice from the specialists at Turó Park Clinics

To get the most out of your appointment with the cardiologist, it is essential to prepare well:

  • Take stock of any history of heart or cardiovascular disease in your family
  • Gather all your medical examinations and blood tests from the last few months
  • List all the treatments and medicines you use regularly

This will make it easier for you to answer the cardiologist's questions and facilitate his diagnosis.

A healthy heart is the motor of life.

Our English-speaking cardiologists welcome you for the diagnosis and treatment of all your cardiovascular problems.

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions about cardiology

How does a visit to a cardiologist work?

During the first visit, the cardiologist asks the patient at length about his or her lifestyle (smoking and alcohol consumption, diet, physical activity, etc.) as well as his or her medical and family history. In a second step, the cardiologist performs a cardiac and pulmonary auscultation, measures the blood pressure and may possibly perform an electrocardiogram. This examination is completely painless and allows the specialist to check the heart rhythm and to detect possible heart rhythm disorders.Depending on the patient's history and medical background, other complementary examinations may also be scheduled: cardiac and/or vascular ultrasound, coronary angiography, scintigraphy or MRI.

Why perform a stress test?

A cardiorespiratory maximal effort test is an examination consisting of the recording of an electrocardiograph on a subject in full physical exercise, most often on a cycloergometer (a type of bicycle where a progressive brake is applied) or a treadmill, as well as a measurement of his or her maximal oxygen consumption during exercise (VO2 max).This type of test is often indicated to monitor the progress of medical treatment, to carry out a check-up before or after a surgical operation or to diagnose a respiratory problem. In sportsmen and women, this test is also used to improve sports monitoring and to refine their training programme.Depending on the indication, this test can be complemented by a blood gas analysis (precise measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the blood) before and after exercise.If you would like to have a cardiorespiratory maximal effort test in Barcelona, do not hesitate to make an appointment with one of our specialists.
