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.

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.
