According to the American Heart Association, atrial fibrillation (AFib) increases the risk of stroke up to five times. While an irregular heartbeat may seem minor, it can lead to serious complications. The good news? Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent blood clots, stroke and even save lives.

Have questions about your heart health or think you may need to schedule an appointment with a doctor? Call HCA Florida Healthcare's Consult-A-Nurse® line at 844-70-NURSE (844-706-8773) to speak with a licensed nurse who can guide you on the next steps for care.

Heart symptoms never happen at a good time, but getting the right answers can make all the difference.

While EKGs, ultrasounds, and stress tests are helpful first steps, they often give a broad look at your heart. When you need more clarity, precision cardiac imaging takes things further with detailed CT scans and MRIs that reveal what’s really going on.

These advanced images help your cardiologist pinpoint the exact issue — from arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies to coronary artery or valvular disease — so your treatment plan is tailored to you.

If you’re experiencing chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or an irregular heartbeat, don’t wait. Talking with a cardiologist is the best first step. They’ll decide whether precision imaging is needed based on your symptoms and risk factors.

• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
• Rapid heartbeat
• Rash or hives

• Fainting or dizziness

A sore throat can often be handled at urgent care, especially when symptoms are mild and you need help with testing or treatment.

But if you’re having trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, severe swelling, drooling, dehydration or a high fever that won’t improve, it may be time to go to an ER.

Our care teams are here to help you get the right care at the right time — with high-quality, patient-centered care when you need it.
