Specialties and Cardiovascular Care Approach
Cardiology visits may begin with a review of symptoms, medications, family history, blood pressure, cholesterol, and earlier test results. Depending on the concern, evaluation may include an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, stress testing, cardiac imaging, or vascular ultrasound. Dr. Abreo uses the findings to identify risk, clarify a diagnosis, and discuss suitable care options.
Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medication, continued monitoring, or a heart procedure. When angiography, angioplasty, or stent placement is considered, the discussion should cover its purpose, alternatives, risks, preparation, and recovery. Follow-up can help assess symptoms, medication response, and changes in cardiovascular health.
