FAQ

What tests might a cardiologist use for AFib or heart failure?

Common evaluations listed for these practices include EKGs, echocardiograms, nuclear heart testing, vascular ultrasound, and cardiac catheterization.

When should I go to the emergency room instead of scheduling a cardiology visit?

Seek emergency care for severe or new chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, or symptoms suggesting a heart attack. Routine symptoms and follow-up testing can generally be addressed through an office cardiology visit.

What cardiac rehabilitation is available?

The Asheville Cardiology Associates network lists cardiac rehabilitation, including a nationally accredited cardiac rehabilitation program, and identifies post-heart-attack rehabilitation as a focus.
