Cardiology (from Greek καρδίᾱ, kardiā, "heart"; and -λογία, -logia) is a medical specialty ambidextrous with disorders of the heart. The acreage includes analysis and analysis of congenital affection defects, coronary avenue disease, heart failure, valvular affection disease and electrophysiology. Physicians specializing in this acreage of anesthetic are alleged cardiologists. Cardiologists should not be abashed with cardiac surgeons, cardiothoracic and cardiovascular, who are surgeons who accomplish cardiac anaplasty via sternotomy - accessible accessible procedures on the affection and abundant vessels.
The appellation cardiology is acquired from the Greek chat καρδιά (transliterated as kardia and acceptation heart or inner self).
