Cardiology
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 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.
Heart disease relates specifically to the heart, while cardiovascular disease affects the heart, the blood vessels, or both.
Key responsibilities of cardiothoracic surgeons include:
- Performing cardiac surgeries such as bypass surgery, valve repair or replacement, and congenital heart defect correction.
- Conducting pre-operative evaluations to assess patient suitability for surgery and developing individualized treatment plans.
- Collaborating closely with other members of the cardiology team including cardiologists, anesthesiologists, and nurses to ensure coordinated patient care.
- Utilizing advanced surgical techniques and technologies to optimize surgical outcomes while prioritizing patient safety.
- Providing post-operative care and follow-up to monitor patient recovery and address any complications, ensuring comprehensive support throughout the treatment process.
What does cardiology involve?
A cardiologist will review a patient’s medical history and carry out a physical examination.
They may check the person’s weight, heart, lungs, blood pressure, and blood vessels, and carry out some tests.
An interventional cardiologist may carry out procedures such as angioplasties, stenting, valvuloplasties, congenital heart defect corrections, and coronary thrombectomies.
