Your Cardiac Consultation
A cardiology consultation is usually requested by your general internist, family doctor or sometimes another specialist or surgeon when he or she wishes to have a cardiac specialist (cardiologist) use his or her expertise to evaluate you.
This might be one of many reasons from concern over a known or possible serious cardiac problem to a more general evaluation.
It might also include situations where you, your personal physician or your regular cardiologist wish you to have a confirmatory or second opinion.
Dr. Amine will start by speaking to you and examining you, reviewing any pertinent records available and possibly doing further diagnostic testing.

- Patient has been referred to a cardiologist by his/her primary care provider.
