Explore heart tests and procedures →Cardiology focuses on the heart and blood vessels. A cardiology visit can help investigate symptoms, review a heart diagnosis, or plan how to manage cardiovascular risk factors.
At Passion Health, primary care and cardiology can work together to connect your overall health needs with heart-focused evaluation and follow-up.
Your care plan may include lifestyle guidance, medicines, appropriate testing, or referral for more specialized treatment. Decisions depend on your history, examination, and goals.
Food choices, physical activity, tobacco use, sleep, blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes all belong in the conversation. Your clinician can help you prioritize practical next steps.
Your symptoms, medicines, family history, and daily routines all help shape the conversation. Bring your questions so your clinician can explain the next step.
Review blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, tobacco use, and family history to discuss your heart health priorities.
Discuss recurring palpitations, changes in exercise tolerance, or other non-emergency concerns with a clinician.
Leave with guidance about recommended testing, treatment discussions, and when to return for review.
Evaluation, treatment, and referrals depend on your individual needs. Bring your diagnosis, symptoms, and questions to the conversation.
Review home readings, medicines, and lifestyle factors that affect blood pressure. Ongoing follow-up helps your clinician assess the treatment plan.
Discuss known narrowing in the heart’s arteries, symptoms, and ways to manage risk. Further testing or specialist procedures depend on your assessment.
A clinician can evaluate stable or recurring concerns after urgent causes have been addressed. New or ongoing chest pressure may need emergency care.
After emergency treatment, follow-up may address medicines, risk factors, and coordination with your hospital or rehabilitation team. A suspected heart attack requires 911.
Discuss a racing, fluttering, or irregular heartbeat. A clinician may recommend an ECG or longer rhythm monitoring when appropriate.
Follow-up can address symptoms, medicines, fluid-related concerns, and coordination with your broader care team. Seek urgent help for sudden severe breathing trouble.
Review cholesterol results alongside your overall cardiovascular risk and discuss nutrition, activity, and medication options.
Discuss a known valve problem, examination findings, or imaging results to understand monitoring and referral needs.
Review conditions that affect the heart muscle, including changes in pumping function, and discuss an individualized follow-up plan.
After stroke evaluation, clinicians may assess heart rhythm or other potential cardiac contributors when indicated. Sudden stroke symptoms require emergency care.
All distinct testing topics from our previous page appear below. A listed test is not a recommendation for every patient or a promise of on-site availability.
An ECG uses skin electrodes to record electrical signals from the heart. It can provide clues about rhythm and other heart concerns; your clinician interprets it with your symptoms and history.
Ultrasound creates moving images of the heart. The examination helps assess pumping function, heart chambers, and valves without using ionizing radiation.
Exercise-based testing assesses the heart’s response to activity. Some patients need a different stress method. Your care team explains the recommended test and preparation.
A wearable recorder tracks heart rhythm continuously, often over 24–48 hours or longer. Recording symptoms and activities can help your clinician interpret the findings.
Longer-term monitoring may help investigate symptoms that do not happen every day. Devices differ in how they record events and how long you wear them.
Ultrasound examines the neck arteries and blood flow toward the brain. Your clinician decides whether symptoms, examination findings, or history justify the study.
A vascular ultrasound evaluates blood flow in arteries of the arms or legs. It may help assess suspected circulation problems when clinically appropriate.
Ultrasound can examine abdominal organs or vessels, depending on the ordered study. The reason for the test determines which structures the sonographer evaluates.
CT-based imaging can assess the heart or coronary arteries. A coronary CT angiogram generally uses contrast dye. Ask about preparation, suitability, and where the examination will take place.
A specialist guides a thin catheter through a blood vessel to assess selected heart or circulation problems. This invasive procedure requires an appropriately equipped facility and a separate specialist assessment.
Your clinician recommends tests for a specific clinical question. Cardiac catheterization and advanced imaging may require a hospital, imaging center, or referral. Confirm which services the clinic can arrange, where they occur, insurance authorization, and follow-up before scheduling.
Do not stop medicines or fast unless your care team gives you specific instructions.
Ask your clinician what a tracing or monitoring result means for your symptoms and follow-up.
The ordered examination determines which organ or blood vessel the sonographer evaluates.

Life Line Screening is a separate preventive screening service that offers cardiovascular and stroke-related screening packages.
Ask the clinic whether any screening arrangement is currently available. A reference here does not establish an active partnership, a booking option, or insurance coverage.
More tests do not always provide more benefit. Discuss your symptoms and risk factors with a clinician before purchasing a screening package. Some screening tests are not appropriate for people without symptoms.
Screening does not replace a medical evaluation, recommended preventive care, or emergency treatment.
Bring identification, insurance details, your medicine and supplement list, and relevant records. Ask whether a referral is required.
Describe when symptoms happen and what brings them on. Share home readings, previous test results, and your main questions.
Confirm the follow-up plan, how results will reach you, and who to contact with questions. Follow the clinician’s instructions about medicines.
Coverage depends on your exact plan, the cardiologist’s network status, and the service you need. Check consultation coverage and testing benefits separately before scheduling.
Passion Health’s insurance information page discusses employer/group plans, individual/Marketplace plans, high-deductible plans, HSA/FSA-compatible arrangements, and out-of-network benefits when available.
These categories do not confirm acceptance of every plan. HSA and FSA accounts are payment arrangements, not insurance networks.
For Medicare or Medicare Advantage, confirm the specific plan, provider participation, referral rules, and benefits. Contact the clinic for self-pay questions.
