What is Cardiology?
Cardiology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a cardiologist treat?
A cardiologist diagnoses and treats diseases of the heart and blood vessels, including heart attacks, chest pain, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, heart failure, and other cardiovascular conditions.
When should I see a heart specialist?
You should consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or have risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of heart disease.
What is coronary angiography?
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure that uses contrast dye and imaging technology to identify blockages in the arteries supplying blood to the heart.
What is the difference between angiography and angioplasty?
Angiography is a diagnostic test used to identify blocked arteries. Angioplasty is a treatment procedure that opens narrowed or blocked arteries to improve blood flow to the heart.
Does every heart patient need surgery?
No. Many heart conditions can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, or minimally invasive procedures. Surgery is recommended only when it is the most appropriate treatment option.
What should I do if someone has severe chest pain?
Chest pain can be a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical attention without delay, especially if the pain is severe, spreads to the arm, neck, jaw, or is accompanied by sweating, breathlessness, or loss of consciousness.
