Adult Cardiology

Adult cardiology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of heart-related disorders in adults. Cardiologists who specialize in adult cardiology are trained to deal with various conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular heart diseases, and congenital heart defects that may have persisted into adulthood. They utilize a wide range of diagnostic tools such as electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, and stress tests to assess the cardiovascular system. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, medication management, interventional procedures (such as angioplasty or stenting), and surgical interventions (such as coronary artery bypass grafting or valve replacement). Adult cardiologists often work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and promote heart health.
