Your cardiologist is your primary heart doctor
Cardiologists at Ascension Saint Thomas Heart Franklin in Franklin, Tennessee, are specially trained in the latest heart and vascular testing, treatment and procedures to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease. If you need advanced surgical care or other specialized heart care, your doctor can connect you with another heart care specialist. Start a conversation with a cardiologist who listens. We take the time to understand you and your health to provide heart care and a personalized care plan that's right for you.
If your care requires imaging, lab testing, or pharmacy support, we help connect the dots for you. Imaging tests, cholesterol tests, heart enzyme blood tests, EKG, and blood pressure monitoring help your doctor diagnose heart disease — irregular heartbeat, leaky heart valve, clogged coronary artery, and more.
If you are experiencing chest pain, especially in combination with jaw or arm pain, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting or difficulty breathing, you might be having a heart attack. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
