Cardiology
Cardiology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart and vascular conditions. Cardiologists are trained to handle a wide range of cardiovascular issues, including:
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Managing conditions related to the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, often caused by atherosclerosis.
Heart Failure: Treating conditions where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body's needs.
Arrhythmias: Diagnosing and managing abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Hypertension: Managing high blood pressure, which can lead to other cardiovascular problems.
Valvular Heart Disease: Evaluating and treating conditions affecting the heart valves, such as stenosis or regurgitation.
