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.
