Cardiology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and conditions of the heart and blood vessels, collectively known as the cardiovascular system. This field addresses a wide range of conditions, including heart attacks, heart failure, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), and structural heart issues such as valve problems. Cardiologists utilize various diagnostic tools, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiography, and stress tests to assess heart function and identify problems. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medications, or more invasive procedures like angioplasty, stent placement, and heart surgery. Advances in cardiology have led to significant improvements in heart disease management, greatly enhancing the quality of life and survival rates for patients with cardiovascular conditions. Additionally, preventative cardiology is an increasingly important aspect, focusing on risk factor management to avoid the development of heart diseases in the first place.
