Cardiology is an area of expertise under the umbrella of internal medicine. Cardiologists, who are physicians who specialize in the field, are educated in disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Additional members of the cardiology field include cardiac surgeons who perform cardiac surgery--operative procedures on the heart and great vessels.

The main area of the cardiology field includes diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. However, there are literally hundreds of disorders of the heart and each area of the heart can exhibit its own set of diseases and disorders. The heart is a complicated organ. In most cases, preventative is the best medicine for keeping it in its healthiest form. Making sure you eat right, exercise, and limiting risk factors such as smoking can all help keep you and your heart in great shape. However, if you do stumble upon a disorder that's out of your control, it's good to know where you can turn for expert cardiology care.

Let us care for you and your Heart!
