What is cardiology?
Heart health is managed by doctors called cardiologists. This branch of internal medicine focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular disorders. When the heart or blood vessels don’t function as they should, complications vary, but heart disease can severely impact your quality of life if left untreated. Your cardiologist specializes in heart health and can diagnose problems through a diagnostic process that involves checking your weight, heart, lungs, blood pressure, and more during a physical examination. Follow-up tests may be necessary to check for a heart murmur or irregular heartbeat.
Cardiologists diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel-related conditions such as:
- Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat)
- Cardiomyopathy
- Congestive heart failure
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart valve defects
- Hyperlipidemia
- Hypertension
- Peripheral artery disease
