Cardiology is a branch of medicine which deals the study, diagnosis, and care of the cardiovascular system. Since there are so many aspects of your heart’s function, your cardiologist has to consider many variables when identifying what may be wrong with your heart. Some of these variables include your heart, arteries, or blood vessels.

• Review your medical records
• Check and test your blood pressure and blood vessels
• Check and test your lung function
• Run tests such as x-rays, blood tests, or an electrocardiogram (ECG), or other specialized tests to determine the problem.

A cardiologist is not a surgeon. A cardiac surgeon is a different specialist who performs the actual physical heart surgery. A cardiologist is involved in testing and other procedures.

Some cardiologists specialize in pediatric, or children’s, cardiology. Others specialize in adult cardiology.
