Kardiologë

Kardiologë, also known as cardiologists, are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the heart and cardiovascular system. This includes conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart valve disorders. Cardiologists are trained to perform various procedures, including coronary angiography, angioplasty, and cardiac catheterization, to assess and treat heart conditions.

The field of cardiology encompasses several sub-specialties, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, and pediatric cardiology. Interventional cardiologists perform minimally invasive procedures to treat heart conditions, while electrophysiologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. Cardiac surgeons perform open-heart surgery, and pediatric cardiologists focus on the care of infants, children, and adolescents with heart conditions.

Cardiologists use a variety of diagnostic tools and techniques to assess heart health, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, stress tests, and cardiac catheterization. They also prescribe medications to manage heart conditions and may recommend lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to promote heart health.

Cardiology is a critical field in medicine, as heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiologists play a vital role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart conditions, helping to improve the quality of life for patients and reduce the burden of heart disease on healthcare systems.
