What is cardiology?

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and blood vessels, also known as the cardiovascular system.

What are the main features of cardiology?

  • Focus on the Cardiovascular System: Cardiologists specialize in the intricate workings of the heart, blood vessels, and how they work together to pump blood throughout the body.
  • Non-invasive and Invasive Techniques: Cardiologists use a variety of techniques to diagnose and treat heart problems. Non-invasive techniques involve procedures that don't break the skin, such as EKGs (electrocardiograms) and echocardiograms (ultrasound of the heart).

Bij chronische mitralisklep insufficiëntie zal ook de linker boezem dilateren door het terug lekkende bloed (de druk in de boezem
