Cardiology
At Wabash General Hospital, our board-certified cardiologist is highly skilled at treating all aspects of heart health. We encourage our patients to take care of their heart health, as heart disease is the number one cause of death in both men and women around the world. Most people who have heart disease are unaware there’s a problem until they experience something unexpected and tragic like a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or a stroke.
Cardiologists can help diagnose, treat, and manage your heart condition so you can live a better quality of life. They will diagnose your heart problem through a diagnostic process that may include the need for follow-up tests to check for heart murmurs or erratic heartbeats. Cardiologists also treat those who have had a prior heart attack or have diagnosed heart failure. Our specialist will be with you to make decisions on treatment options that suit your lifestyle.
