What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart and circulatory system.

– Cardiologists specialize in heart-related conditions.

– Interventional Cardiologists provide urgent, expert care during emergencies such as heart attacks.

Why Heart Health Matters

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide among both men and women. It often goes unnoticed until it causes acute conditions like heart attacks.

– According to the World Health Organization, 17.9 million people die each year from heart disease.

Drug discovery and drug development are complex and expensive endeavors undertaken by pharmaceutical companies, academic scientists, and governments. As a result of this complex path from discovery to commercialization, partnering has become a standard practice for advancing drug candidates through development pipelines. Governments generally regulate what drugs can be marketed, how drugs are marketed, and in some jurisdictions,

Chest CT Scan

Although pulmonary medicine only began to evolve as a medical specialty in the 1950s, William Welch and William Osler founded the ‘parent’ organization of the American Thoracic Society

One of the first major discoveries relevant to the field of pulmonology was the discovery of pulmonary circulation. Originally, it was thought that blood reaching the right side of the heart passed through small ‘pores’ in the septum into the left side to be oxygenated, as theorized by Galen; however, the discovery of pulmonary circulation disproves this theory, which had previously been accepted since the 2nd century. Thirteenth century anatomist and physiologist Ibn Al-Nafis accurately theorized that there was no ‘direct’ passage between the two sides.
