What does cardiology care include?

Cardiology is the branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. At Internal Medicine PGH, the team offers personalized, comprehensive cardiac care for patients at all stages of heart health. Whether you're coming in for a routine heart screening or managing a chronic condition, the team provides guidance, education, and support to help you feel confident about your health. Their cardiology services are designed to detect concerns early, reduce risk factors, and provide effective treatment that aligns with your overall wellness goals.

Why is cardiology important?

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, but early detection and consistent management can make a meaningful difference. That’s why proactive heart care is so essential. The cardiology team is here to help with:

• Risk factor management: Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and a family history of cardiovascular disease can increase your risk. The team partners with you to monitor these risk factors through regular testing and lifestyle guidance.
• Preventive screening: Routine evaluations, such as blood pressure checks and cardiac imaging, can catch warning signs before symptoms even appear—improving your chances of avoiding serious complications.
• Chronic condition management: If you’ve been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, heart failure, or another cardiac condition, the team will provide ongoing care and treatment that evolves with your needs.

What can I expect from cardiology services?

Your visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed medical history review, physical exam, and, if needed, advanced diagnostic testing. Depending on your needs, the team may recommend:

• Electrocardiograms (EKG/ECG)
• Echocardiograms
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Cholesterol and lipid panels
• Lifestyle counseling and nutrition support
• Stress management guidance
• Medication management
  

The goal is to protect your heart health at every stage—whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, preventing complications, or maintaining long-term wellness.
