Modern cardiology is an imaging and image analysis technique that provides a very detailed look at the heart and its blood vessels to diagnose, monitor, and manage cardiovascular diseases. Technologies include echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear imaging, which allow clinicians to directly visualize cardiac structures, study blood flow, and functionally […]

Preventive cardiology is one of the relatively new subspecialties designed to intervene in the pre-onset and early manifestations of CVD by facilitating lifestyle change, managing or controlling identifiable risk factors for disease onset, and early intervention on those manifestations. This being the foremost cause of death globally for heart diseases, preventive cardiology does its best […]

Lipidology is the subspecialty of medicine applied to studying lipids-that is, fatty molecules such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipid-and how they are intertwined with disease and health matters, in particular with issues of heart conditions. Of course, lipids help with multiple biological functions involving cell membranes, energy production, and hormone synthesis among others. However, if […]

Molecular and Cellular Cardiology pertains to the field that tries to understand the working mechanisms at the molecular or cellular level that underly heart function, disease, and repair. This kind of understanding draws insights from both genetics and biochemistry-cum-cellular biology to unravel the mechanism of cardiac function and the disruption of heart diseases at the […]

The new divisions of cardio-oncology and nuclear cardio. Cardio-oncology is an expert area that has been developed to deal with all the cardiotoxicity of cancer treatments. With the improvement of cancer treatments including Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation there has been the realization of the progression of cancer and an increased propensity to cardiovascular complications too. […]

The presence of major physiological changes has made pregnancy a time of challenge for women with existing cardiac problems. Problems related to the heart during pregnancy tend to pose a threat to both the mother and the fetus because the heart struggles to provide the excess flow that the fetus needs in development. Common cardiac […]

An arrhythmia simply refers to a disordered heartbeat in terms of the electrical signals produced by the heart, which causes palpitations, dizziness, fainting in many, and, very severely, sudden cardiac death. It may be classified based on source and type-for example, AFib, bradycardia, or slow heart rhythm; tachycardia, or fast heart rhythm; and ventricular arrhythmias, […]

Obesity and hypertension are closely related disorders that have a direct impact on overall health and quality of life. Obesity is the leading cause of hypertension because it puts additional strain on the heart and makes it work harder to circulate blood throughout the body. The workload increases and elevates blood pressure levels even more. […]

Acute and chronic management of cardiac care is significant because it manages a range of heart conditions that afflict millions of people worldwide. Acute cardiac care refers to the immediate treatment provided for life-threatening diseases, including cardiac arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or heart attacks. This means that there must be fast intervention in […]

The activity of drugs on the heart and blood vessels make up cardiovascular pharmacology, a majority medical practice for which physicians will eventually develop an understanding should they choose to treat. These include : Anticoagulants or blood thinners Antiplatelet agents Thrombolytic agents Angiotensin-converting enzyme Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) Diuretics Calcium channel blockers Vasodilators Digoxin […]
