Specializes in Hospital-based practice

Not necessarily: They may be better off near a good hospital where cardiology services are available. Not in a trauma center.

Not necessarily: The trauma center might not be the best place for management of your heart problems. Discuss with your cardiologist where the best place to treat your heart condition is. Ask about 24 hour coverage for the problems you might face, and then make your decision.
