Plenty: History and physical very important. Depending on symptoms or physical findings they may check for structural heart problems, arrhythmias, blockages, heart failure with a few other tests if necessary. If they find something wrong they will guide you to improve it or treat the problems. I hope this helps as your question is quite open ended.
