Heart disease can appear in many forms. It can make you feel ill and also make you feel as if you don't have enough energy to do the things you would like to do.
While some forms of heart disease cause pain in the chest, others like hypertension don’t cause any pain at all.
There are four main types of heart disease:
Heart Attack
High Blood Pressure (or "'hypertension")
Heart Failure
Heart Arrhythmia
Heart disease is diagnosed by talking to a doctor about your symptoms.
Diagnosis can include:
If you have heart disease our doctors and their care teams can help you to get the treatment you need.
If you need a cardiologist, we can help you find one and work with both of you to find the best treatments for you.
Contact one of our family medicine locations to schedule an appointment.
