Cardiology

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. Cardiologists are specialized doctors who focus on managing heart-related issues, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertension. They use various diagnostic tools, like electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, and stress tests, to assess heart function and guide treatment. Cardiology also involves interventions like angioplasty, stent placement, and in some cases, surgery to improve heart health and patient outcomes.
