Cardiology Teaching

Cardiology is medical speciality dealing with disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The course module of cardiology teaching includes diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. This internal medicine curriculum package has been designed for students & nurses who know nothing at all about Cardiology. Physicians specializing in this field of medicine are called cardiologists. Cardiologists should not be confused with cardiac surgeons, cardiothoracic and cardiovascular, who are surgeons who perform cardiac surgery - operative procedures on the heart and great vessels.
