Cardiology
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of death worldwide.
Cardiology, as a sub-specialty of general medicine, is responsible for diagnosis and treating congenital and acquired diseases of the heart, the circulation and the blood vessels (close to the heart). These include cardiac arrest, heart failure, rhythm disorders, heart valve problems, inflammation of the cardiac muscle and high blood pressure, strokes and peripheral vascular disease. With early diagnosis, most of these conditions can be treated successfully nowadays.
