Suggest Treatment For Arteriosclerosis
I am an 80 year old woman who has recently been diagnosed with arterosclerosis. I m looking for a Cardiologist who specializes in that disease. If a doctor lists her/his expertise as coronary artery disease is that the right doctor for me? Is that the same as arterosclerosis? Please let me know if there s a fee for this before answering. Thank you. Bee bee

Consult any one specialised in vascular diseases – example, Vascular surgeon.
