Heart disease is a broad term for conditions that affect the heart’s blood vessels, rhythm, valves, muscle, or structure.
Coronary artery disease is one of the most common forms of heart disease and develops when the arteries that supply the heart become narrowed or blocked. Other conditions include arrhythmias, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart problems, and heart failure.
Some heart problems cause noticeable symptoms, while others are discovered during a routine physical, blood-pressure check, EKG, or other cardiovascular testing. Primary care can help identify risk factors early, evaluate symptoms, begin appropriate testing, and coordinate additional cardiology care when needed.
Ongoing heart care may include lifestyle changes, medication management, monitoring of blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes management, smoking-cessation support, weight management, and follow-up after specialist procedures or hospitalization.
Heart disease does not always cause obvious symptoms, so new or changing cardiovascular concerns should be evaluated appropriately.
Pressure, tightness, squeezing, burning, or discomfort in the chest may require medical evaluation.
Breathlessness during activity or at rest can have many causes, including possible heart or lung conditions.
Fluttering, racing, pounding, or irregular heartbeats may suggest a rhythm problem that needs assessment.
Persistent or unexplained tiredness, weakness, or reduced exercise tolerance may warrant evaluation.
Swelling in the feet, ankles, legs, or abdomen can occur with fluid retention and should be discussed with a provider.
Lightheadedness, near-fainting, or fainting may be related to heart rhythm, blood pressure, or other medical conditions.
Hypertension often has no symptoms but can increase long-term strain on the heart and arteries.
A close family history of heart disease can increase cardiovascular risk and may justify earlier screening.
Choose a clinic and provider to request a cardiovascular evaluation, screening, or follow-up appointment.
Many cardiovascular risk factors can be identified and managed through regular primary care.
Long-term high blood pressure can damage arteries and increase strain on the heart.
Elevated LDL cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup and narrowing of the arteries.
Diabetes, overweight, and obesity can increase cardiovascular risk and often require ongoing monitoring.
Smoking, inactivity, unhealthy diet, and excess alcohol can contribute to heart disease risk.
Your provider may recommend testing based on symptoms, medical history, examination findings, and cardiovascular risk.
Review symptoms, family history, medications, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking history, and other risk factors.
An electrocardiogram can evaluate the heart’s electrical activity and may identify certain rhythm or conduction abnormalities.
Depending on the concern, testing may include laboratory work, echocardiography, stress testing, CT-based imaging, or other studies.
If additional cardiac evaluation or a procedure is needed, primary care can coordinate referral and follow-up with a heart specialist.
Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis, symptoms, risk factors, and recommendations from your healthcare team.
Regular monitoring and treatment can help reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels.
Diet, lifestyle changes, and medication when appropriate can help manage cholesterol-related cardiovascular risk.
Blood-sugar management is an important part of reducing cardiovascular complications for patients with diabetes.
Medications may be used for blood pressure, cholesterol, rhythm disorders, blood clot prevention, or other heart conditions.
Heart-healthy eating and weight management can support blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and overall cardiovascular health.
Your provider can discuss an activity plan that is appropriate for your health status and heart condition.
Stopping tobacco use is one of the most important steps for reducing cardiovascular risk.
Primary care can support medication reconciliation, recovery, risk-factor control, and specialist follow-up after cardiac care.
Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for severe or persistent chest pain or pressure, serious difficulty breathing, fainting or loss of consciousness, sudden weakness or numbness, signs of stroke, or other symptoms that may represent a heart attack or another medical emergency.
Primary care support for screening, risk-factor control, chronic heart disease management, and cardiology coordination.

Heart disease includes conditions affecting the heart’s arteries, rhythm, valves, muscle, or structure.
Possible symptoms include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, unusual fatigue, dizziness, or swelling. Severe or sudden symptoms may require emergency care.
Common risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, overweight or obesity, inactivity, unhealthy diet, excess alcohol use, age, and family history.
Evaluation may include a medical history, physical exam, blood tests, EKG, echocardiogram, stress testing, CT imaging, or other tests depending on the concern.
Primary care can help manage cardiovascular risk factors and many chronic heart-health needs while coordinating with cardiology for specialized testing, procedures, or advanced treatment.
Risk can often be reduced by controlling blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes, avoiding tobacco, staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting routine medical care.
