Cardiology

Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine concerned with the study and treatment of disorders of the heart and the blood vessels. Cardiologists specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system, and may carry out tests as well as perform some procedures, such as heart catheterizations, angioplasty, or inserting a pacemaker.

Heart ailments have become quite prevalent in India with estimates suggesting that almost 2.5% of the population is affected by some kind of heart condition. There are numerous causes for heart disease, including high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, stress, smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine. Besides, some over the counter medicines and dietary supplements can also affect the heart.
