Heart Disease
Providers who care for your heart: see credentials, insurance, and contact details before you ever call.
Frequently asked
When should I see a cardiologist instead of my primary-care provider?
A primary-care provider handles prevention and much ongoing care, and refers to cardiology for diagnosed heart conditions, symptoms like chest discomfort or palpitations, or a complicated risk picture. Both provider types appear in this directory.
Which heart-disease risk factors can I actually change?
Plenty: smoking, physical inactivity, diet, excess alcohol, and stress, plus working with a clinician on blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight. A provider can help you work out which of these to take on first.
What are the signs of a heart attack?
Chest discomfort is the classic one, often in the center or left side. It usually lasts more than a few minutes, it may go away and come back, and it can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, pain, or even heartburn. Shortness of breath is sometimes the only symptom. Discomfort can also appear in one or both arms, the back, shoulders, neck, jaw, or upper stomach, with nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness, or a cold sweat. Women sometimes have different symptoms than men, and are more likely to feel tired for no reason. Call 911 immediately, even if you are not sure it is a heart attack. Don't drive yourself, and don't search a directory.
Understanding heart disease
Heart disease is an umbrella for several conditions: coronary artery disease (plaque narrowing the heart's blood vessels), arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms), heart failure (the heart pumping less effectively than the body needs), angina, and valve and heart-muscle disorders. Some people have no symptoms until a complication like a heart attack, which is why risk factors get so much clinical attention.
Many risks are changeable: smoking, inactivity, diet, excess alcohol, and stress, alongside managing blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, and weight. Care combines heart-healthy lifestyle changes with medication, procedures when needed, and cardiac rehabilitation after events.
Finding the right provider
A primary-care provider manages much of heart health: risk assessment, blood pressure and cholesterol care, and referral to a cardiologist for diagnosed heart conditions, concerning symptoms, or complicated risk pictures. ProviderQuoHealth shows each provider's credentials, accepted insurance, and accepting-new-patients status so you can rule out mismatches before you call.
Know the emergency line cold. Chest discomfort is the most common sign, often in the center or left side of the chest. It usually lasts more than a few minutes, it may go away and come back, and it can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain, or even like heartburn or indigestion. Shortness of breath is sometimes the only symptom, and it can come on at rest or with light activity. Discomfort can also show up in one or both arms, the back, shoulders, neck, jaw, or upper part of the stomach, alongside nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness, or a cold sweat. Women sometimes have different symptoms than men, and are more likely to feel tired for no reason. Call 911 immediately, even if you are not sure it is a heart attack. Don't drive yourself, and don't search a directory.
