Cardiology
All cardiologists study heart-related conditions, but training in adult and pediatric cardiology prepares specialists to care for young patients with heart disorders.
Overview
A cardiologist is a medical professional with advanced training in identifying, treating, and managing conditions of the heart and circulatory system. This includes disorders like coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertension, congenital heart defects, valve disorders, and atherosclerosis.
A pediatric cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating cardiac conditions in children from infancy through adolescence. While some disorders overlap with those seen in adults, others are unique to younger patients. Pediatric cardiologists manage common issues like congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, heart murmurs, and cardiomyopathies, as well as conditions involving heart development.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Cardiologists are skilled clinicians capable of diagnosing complex heart conditions through thorough history and physical examination. This includes assessments of heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, breathing, and cardiac function. Despite advancements in technology, the physical examination remains a vital component of patient evaluation.
We differ from cardiothoracic surgeons as we do not perform surgeries on the heart or major vessels. However, cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons collaborate closely for various conditions, sometimes even during procedures.
