Heart Murmurs – Preparation for Appointment

Transcript

What kind of information should you discuss with your cardiologist? When you’re seeing the cardiologist for the first time, it is important to have a detailed medical history. Please let your doctor know about your health conditions and your medications. It’s important to discuss how long you’ve had certain illnesses and how they’re being treated and who’s treating them, and what the goals are, and the treatment options have been provided to you, how long do you need to stay on your medications, so on and so forth. So your cardiologist is prepared to direct you with how we’re going to treat your murmur.
