Cardiology
The Cardiology Department's philosophy concentrates on preventative care and overall wellness maintenance. In cases of established illness, the objective is to create and maintain steady improvement. Primarily patients are consulted on risk factor issues such as weight, exercise, lifestyle, smoking, drinking or other illnesses such as diabetes. Secondary is the moderation of risk factors once heart disease has been established.
DeKalb Clinic's Cardiology Department can evaluate, stabilize and treat cardiovascular disease - and in cases where necessary, provide timely access to acute care. Patients are completely evaluated and if necessary, referred to the best possible institution for the treatment of their individual condition. The Clinic maintains relationships with many major tertiary centers throughout the area.
For your first appointment, it is helpful to bring a list of any current medications and any medical history or records. Family members and significant others are welcome to accompany patients on their visits.
