Cardiologists are physicians who, using diagnostics and medicine, treat the heart and its diseases. They do not perform surgical operations, unlike heart surgeons. They see both routine and complex cases of cardiac disease and heart disorders in patients.
Heart failure occurs when, with each beat, the heart muscle has weakened and does not pump out enough blood or the heart muscle has become rigid. Your heart has lost its ability to relax and does not fill up with blood entirely
Interventional cardiologists are trained in cardiology and then continue in interventional cardiology for further study. Instead of conventional surgery, this additional training helps them to perform minimally invasive procedures requiring minor incisions and catheters. These tests are used to diagnose and treat diseases such as coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, endocarditis, peripheral artery disease, and heart valve disorders.
Cardiothoracic surgeons are heart surgeons in the field of the heart and lungs who perform surgery. In complex, life-saving procedures and cardiac treatment, cardiothoracic surgeons have extensive experience, including advanced, specialized procedures such as robotic and video-assisted pulmonary surgery, minimally invasive mitral valve repair, and complex neonatal repairs
