Understanding Cardiology
Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology.
Cardiologists are specialized physicians trained to diagnose and treat conditions of the heart. They perform procedures like catheterizations, angioplasty, and are skilled in interpreting diagnostic tests.
