Cardiology is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the heart.The field includes diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. Physicians specializing in this field of medicine are called cardiologists.Cardiologists should not be confused with cardiac surgeons, cardiothoracic and cardiovascular, who are surgeons who perform cardiac surgery via sternotomy — open operative procedures on the heart and great vessels.

Thanks for that info. It is true that cardiology is a very important speciality, keeping our hearts going, sometimes against overwhelming odds! In fact the heart is a simple pump and something of a miracle, look after ours and it can go on beating for more than 100 years! I don't know many man made machines that would go on that long without breaking down!
