Cardiology /General Health

Cardiology is a medical specialty dedicated to keeping your heart healthy. Imagine it as a branch of medicine that focuses solely on the well-being of your heart and some key parts of your circulatory system.

What does a cardiologist do?

Cardiologists are like detectives for your heart. They diagnose and treat a wide range of heart conditions, including:

Birth defects affecting the heart (congenital heart defects)

Blocked arteries (coronary artery disease)

Weakened heart muscle (heart failure)

Abnormal heart valves (valvular heart disease)

Electrical problems in the heart (electrophysiology)

While your heart and blood work together, cardiology primarily focuses on the heart and certain parts of the circulatory system, not the blood itself (hematology). However, some blood tests and conditions can impact the heart, and cardiologists may consider these factors.
