Wilmington Cardiologist - Cape Fear Heart Associates   I have an
appointment today. Should I follow any specific instructions for
my appointment?  Please bring all medications, in their original
containers, that you currently take to your appointment. Also
refrain from wearing lotions or oils the day of your appointment
in the event you are scheduled for diagnostic tests, as these
products can hamper the attachment of equipment.  I have active
chest pain. Should I make an appointment with a physician at
Wilmington Cardiology?  No, if you are experiencing chest pain,
please dial 911 and go immediately to the hospital. Significant
delays in treatment occur when patients having a heart attack go
to an outpatient facility instead of the ER. Early treatment
makes a big difference when it comes to having a heart attack or
stroke.  What is a nurse practitioner or physician assistant and
what is his/her role in the practice? These practitioners are
licensed by the state to diagnose and treat common health
problems. W
