CARDIOLOGY
A Cardiologist is a physician who’s an expert in caring for your heart and blood vessels. They can treat or help you prevent several cardiovascular problems. Cardiologists are qualified to treat heart attacks, heart failure, heart valve disease, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure.
To make a diagnosis, cardiologists may give physical exams, order tests—such as an electrocardiogram (EKG), blood tests, and exercise stress tests—and interpret them. They may also prescribe medicine and recommend lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, stress reduction, and weight management. Cardiologists can also perform procedures such as implanting a pacemaker or inserting a cardiac catheter.
