Cardiology

Cardiology The human heart has a special characteristic, it has its own electrical impulse, which allows it to beat normally outside of the human body as long as it has sufficient oxygen levels. The term cardiology refers to the medical branch which focuses on disease and irregularities of the heart. A cardiologist focuses on the individual area of the body that is the heart and these doctors focus on preventing and treating illnesses of the whole heart or single vessels or arteries. Technology

to the medical field in my undergraduate years led me to be interested in cardiology. I learned in a cardio clinic that the sedentary lifestyle of Americans, regardless of races, contributes to many health issues from simple circulation problem to heart disease. Furthermore, heart disease becomes one of the most common causes of death. Therefore, I think it is even more rewarding to be a part of a healthcare team in cardiology these days and to help patients understand the risk of those diseases such

I am a cardiology fellow at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. I will complete a general cardiology fellowship in June 2017. I am seeking practice opportunities as a general non-invasive cardiologist. I will have level II training in echocardiography (including trans-esophageal and stress echocardiography), nuclear cardiology as well as cardiovascular CT angiography. As part of my training in internal medicine at Emory University and cardiology at Brown University, I have worked at seven

The Department of Cardiology: In the department of Cardiology coronary artery disease is a major disease in the world. Coronary artery disease is the damages of the hearts major blood vessel for fat deposits. (2017, April 26) Plaque restricts the blood flow to the heart, which in the end progresses to a myocardial infraction also know as a heart attack, which is another major condition in the department of cardiology. When a patient is suffering from CAD, they may experience angina (chest pain) in

Young 1 The Medical Science of Cardiology Have you ever felt your heart race after a run, or when you watch a movie, your heart stops? Well, your heart is an incredibly important organ within the human body that keeps you alive and helps run your body. The heart is such an important component of the body. If something goes wrong, it needs to be taken care of immediately; this urgent job is given to cardiologists. Cardiology is the medical science of treatment of the heart. This science is

My interest in cardiology does not stem from taking care of a loved one with a cardiac condition. Nor is it derived from the thought that the heart is the most important organ for survival. My passion for cardiology is the result of the intellectual stimulation that I derive from the interpretation of murmurs, electrocardiograms and hemodynamic waveforms. This is what compels me to engage in the elucidation of their meaning. I was fortunate to have trained at Westchester Medical Center which is known

Heart failure occurs when structural or functional cardiac disorders cause one or both ventricles of the heart not to pump effectively to meet the demands of the body (Lopez-Pazos, et al., 2011). Some symptoms of heart failure include: dyspnea on exertion, cough, fatigue, edema/weight gain, chest pain, palpitations, right upper abdominal pain or fullness, orthopnea, hemoptysis, bibasilar crackles, nocturnal dyspnea, pallor, cyanosis, tachycardia, weakness, exercise intolerance, murmur, S3 gallop

Thank you very much for your time to meet with you. I am sending this email to emphasis what we have already discussed during our meeting on Friday 01/12/2018. Nationally, training in interventional pediatric cardiology is non-ACGME accredited training and no board exam is required to pass at the end of the training. Therefore, I do not think your program needs to obtain special accreditation prior to accept training me. As such, good training is the only requisite to practice as congenital cardiac

is being a doctor. There are various types of medical fields that one can choose to study. Nowadays, when one wants to major in a medical field, their automatic medical field is to study Neurology or Cardiology. Both of these medical fields are extremely important and well known, especially Cardiology. According to current researchers, cardiac-related diseases are the most deadly and most occurring compared to other diseases. “As of 2008, 17.3 million or 30% of the global deaths were related to cardiovascular

The Electrocardiograph Modern day cardiology traces its roots from the complex study of the heart’s electrical impulses. This was made possible through the electrocardiograph or the EKG, a device created to capture and record the heart’s bioelectrical activity. Developed in the early 20th century, this apparatus became one of the most influential technologies in clinical medicine and an invaluable tool for many physicians. John Burnett of the London Science Museum, considered the electrocardiograph
