CardiologyCardiology is the branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The human heart is a complex organ, consisting of two ventricles and two atria. Coronary arteries feed the heart the blood it needs to sustain itself. Selected top Cardiology diagnostic tests and proceduresThe diagnostic tests in cardiology are methods of identifying heart conditions associated with healthy vs. unhealthy, pathologic, heart function. Bedside Auscultation Auscultation employs a stethoscope to more easily hear various normal and abnormal sound
