How to choose a cardiologist? If you feel any problem related to cardiac activity, or feel unwell, the choice of a cardiologist will be the most important of the choices that you will make on the road to full recovery. In this case, either you need to find an experienced cardiologist, or contact your family doctor. When meeting, be sure to ask about the education and experience of a doctor.

Cardiology, being a science, is also divided into several branches. In general, the cardiologist deals with the definition and assessment of the status of cardiac diseases. If you experience problems with the "pumping” function of the heart, it will be better if you contact a specialist-cardiovascularist, angioplasty and stenting specialist. Deviations from the normal rhythm of the heartbeat pace are investigated by electrophysiologists. Some doctors may choose a narrower specialization, such as valve pathology, chronic heart failure, etc. First of all, at a reception with a cardiologist you should feel his attitude, desire and eagerness to solve your problem. In a word, ask the question: "Did I find a good doctor?":

• If there are questions, could he give full answers to them;
  
• Is this medical institution calm (or chaotic)?
  
• Do you feel a professional approach?
  
• What was the attitude toward you, manifested by a nurse or a doctor who invited you to the examination room?
  

In a word, you must find the cardiologist who can be entrusted your health and life. Only by finding a suitable doctor, you will feel psychological relief.
