Cardiology |
Cardiologists are physicians who specialize in diseases of
the heart, lungs, and circulatory system. They manage complex
cardiac conditions such as heart attacks and abnormal heartbeat
rhythms and perform complicated diagnostic procedures, including
cardiac catheterization. They also consult with cardiac surgeons
regarding patients who require open-heart surgery.
All cardiologists who attain certification in cardiovascular
disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine must first
be certified in internal medicine.
