a cardiologist may perform include electrocardiograms (ECGs), stress tests, echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, and implantation of pacemakers or defibrillators.
A cardiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. This can include diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, heart valve disorders, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects.
Cardiologists receive extensive training in cardiology, which includes several years of medical school, followed by a residency program in internal medicine, and finally, a fellowship in cardiology. They have a deep understanding of the cardiovascular system, and they use advanced medical technologies and techniques to diagnose and treat heart-related conditions.
Some common procedures that a cardiologist may perform include electrocardiograms (ECGs), stress tests, echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, and implantation of pacemakers or defibrillators.
If you have concerns about your heart health or have been diagnosed with a heart condition, your primary care physician may refer you to a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment
