Cardiology is the study and treatment of disorders of the heart and the blood vessels. A person with heart disease or cardiovascular disease may be referred to a cardiologist. Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine. A cardiologist is not the same as a cardiac surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist can carry out tests for a heart murmur or an abnormal heart rhythm.

A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. The cardiologist will carry out tests, and they may perform some procedures, such as heart catheterizations, angioplasty, or inserting a pacemaker.

What does cardiology involve?

They often treat patients who have had a heart attack, heart failure, or other heart problems. They help make decisions about heart surgery, heart catheterization, and angioplasty and stenting.

  • Disorders of the heart valves including the aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valves
  • coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and restenosis (narrowing of coronary artery)
  • Cardiologists acquire knowledge and competence in performing as well as interpreting procedures
  • Cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, aneurysm, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and vasculitis
  • Determine how likely a patient is to experience tachycardia or an accelerated heart beat

What Cardiologists treat

Cardiologists acquire knowledge and competence in performing as well as interpreting procedures including physical examination, cardioversion, heart catheterization, insertion and management of pacemakers, and cardiovascular rehabilitation. They also acquire skills as well as learn techniques for managing coronary artery disease, hypertension, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, pericardial, valvular and pulmonary heart diseases, among others. Once training is completed, the physician then takes a cardiology examination overseen by the American Board of Internal Medicine or its equivalent in the doctor’s home country.
