Cardiologist
A cardiologist is a specialist engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Cardiologists hold a special place in cardiology. Doctors of this specialty accompany cancer patients before and during chemotherapy. A cardiologist in oncology provides prevention of the development of undesirable cardiovascular pathologies and their correction, thus enabling the patient to receive the most effective treatment with minimal risks. By assessing the patient’s condition before the start of chemotherapy, the doctor has the opportunity to determine the degree of cardiotoxicity in advance. A cardiologist conducts an examination to identify heart and vascular diseases, and also develops a scheme of drug correction for each patient.
The Federal State Budgetary Institution “NMIC of Radiology” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation implements a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of oncological diseases. The branches of the Center have unique departments, on the basis of which a full cycle of therapeutic measures is carried out – from diagnosis to rehabilitation, both within the framework of the CHI system and in the form of paid services. You can find detailed information about treatment methods and appointment appointments on our website.
Who needs a consultation with a cardiologist-oncologist?
One of the main tasks that a cardiologist solves in oncology is to prevent the development of heart diseases. Cancer treatment entails a number of side effects, including symptoms of cardiotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. Cardiotoxicity is the toxic effect of chemicals on the heart and its function. The cardiologist, working in tandem with the attending physician, selects accompanying therapy for the patient to relieve undesirable symptoms. If the patient has a history of pathologies from the cardiovascular system, the cardiologist, even at the stage of determining treatment tactics, if necessary, conducts additional studies and selects the most effective treatment method to minimize the risk of complications.
In what cases may you need to consult a cardiologist?
- If you have a history of chronic heart disease profile or have suffered acute conditions, such as myocardial infarction.
- If undesirable symptoms of a cardiological profile have occurred during cancer treatment.
- Upon reaching the age of 60, regardless of chronic diseases, a cardiologist’s consultation is necessary.
Based on the results of the consultation, the doctor determines the list of studies necessary to determine the full picture of the patient’s condition and prescribe appropriate medical correction. Make an appointment by phone +7 (495) 150-11-22.
