Who is a Heart Specialist?

A cardiologist or a heart specialist is a doctor who studies, diagnoses, and treats conditions of the cardiovascular system, i.e., the heart and blood vessels. Cardiologists are also qualified to treat heart attacks, arrhythmia, heart failure, heart valve disease, and high blood pressure.

To make a diagnosis, cardiologists may carry out physical exams, order tests like an electrocardiogram (EKG), blood tests, exercise stress tests, and interpret tests. They also prescribe medications and recommend lifestyle changes such as reducing stress levels, diet, exercise, and managing weight. Heart specialists or cardiologists can perform various procedures, such as inserting a cardiac catheter or implanting a pacemaker. Cardiologists may also teach at universities and conduct research within labs to develop new treatments.

Their responsibility is generally to help the patients in diagnosing, preventing, and managing any potential heart conditions.
  • Invasive Cardiologist: An Invasive Cardiologist’s responsibilities include everything that of a Non-Invasive Cardiologist. They are also trained in cardiac catheterization and many other minor procedures or surgeries.
  • Interventional Cardiologist: When a patient is needed to undergo more advanced procedures other than Invasive and Non-Invasive Cardiology, an interventional cardiologist can help with treatment.
  • Cardiac Surgeons: The sub-type of Invasive Cardiology is Cardiothoracic Surgery or Cardiac Surgery. A cardiac surgeon specializes in the treatment of heart diseases through surgery. Over their years of experience, they can get additional qualifications to become specialist cardiologists.
