Protect and heal the human heart
Cardiologists diagnose and treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels — from heart attacks and arrhythmias to heart failure and congenital defects. They perform procedures like echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac catheterizations.
You review ECGs, consult on a patient with chest pain in the ER, perform a cardiac catheterization to open a blocked artery, and counsel a family on their loved one's heart failure management. High stakes, high reward.
