Cardiology
Cardiology is a specialty dealing with diseases affecting the heart and the circulatory system. Our cardiovascular system is responsible for pumping and circulating blood throughout the whole body. Among different cardiac diagnoses, the most well known conditions include coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia and valvular heart disease. Cardiologists are specialized to diagnose and treat these diseases. Some common tests and procedures carried out by cardiologists include electrocardiograms (ECG), exercise stress (treadmill) tests, echocardiograms and invasive coronary angiograms.
