What Is Cardiovascular Disease?

Cardiovascular disease is a general term for all conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). More than 800,000 people die of cardiovascular disease every year in the United States, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood institute.

Diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels include:

Coronary heart disease - a disease of the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle
Stroke - a condition that occurs when the arteries leading to and within the brain are blocked, depriving that part of the brain of oxygen-rich blood, which can cause brain cells to die. Stroke is the fifth cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States.
Congenital heart defects - malformations of the heart structure present at birth that affect the normal development and function of the heart
Peripheral artery disease - a disease of blood vessels supplying the arms and legs

What Does a Cardiologist Do?

Interventional cardiology
Adult congenital heart disease
Cardiac imaging
Electrophysiology including ablation
Electrical device therapy
Heart failure, including cardiac transplantation and support devices

When Would I Need a Cardiologist?

Heart disease tends to develop over time. Some people may have early symptoms long before they receive a severe diagnosis. Symptoms differ from person to person and are often not obvious. The following are some of the warning signs to look out for, especially if you have had a heart attack, heart failure or a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol:

Chest pain along the front of the body between your neck and upper abdomen
Shortness of breath even while resting or lying flat on your back
Coughing or wheezing that won't go away
Swelling in the legs, ankles or feet
Narrowed blood vessels
Feeling more tired than usual
Fast or uneven heartbeat (palpitations)

If you have any of these symptoms, don't wait to see if the symptoms will go away, or take too long to get medical attention. Call your healthcare provider right away.
