What does a Cardiologist do?
Cardiologists specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases related to the heart and blood vessels. They manage conditions like hypertension, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and congenital heart issues. Using tests such as ECG, 2D Echo, stress tests, and cardiac catheterization, they evaluate heart function and recommend appropriate treatment. This may include lifestyle changes, medications, or advanced procedures like angioplasty or pacemaker implantation. At Renova Hospitals, our cardiologists work closely with other specialists to provide complete and continuous heart care tailored to each patient’s condition.
