Cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart and blood vessel disorders. Cardiologists manage conditions such as:

• Coronary artery disease: Blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
• Heart failure: A condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively.
• Arrhythmias: Irregular heartbeats that can affect blood flow.
• Valvular heart disease: Problems with the heart valves that can disrupt normal blood flow.
• Hypertension: High blood pressure, which can lead to other cardiovascular issues.

Cardiologists use a variety of diagnostic tools, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, stress tests, and angiography, to evaluate heart health. Treatments may involve lifestyle changes, medications, and interventions like angioplasty or surgery.
