Cardiovascular medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the heart and blood vessels. This field addresses various issues, including heart disease, hypertension, and arrhythmias. Cardiologists, the specialists in this area, use a range of tests and procedures to evaluate heart health and develop treatment plans. Patients may undergo tests like echocardiograms or stress tests to assess their cardiovascular health. Treatment options can include lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement. The goal of cardiovascular medicine is to improve heart function and reduce the risk of serious complications.
