Cardiologists are doctors specialised in the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of heart problems, including congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease and heart failure. Using a variety of modern tests and imaging techniques they are able to accurately identify the cause of a specific heart condition and formulate a suitable treatment plan. Treatments can be straightforward, involving lifestyle changes and medication, however in more complex cases cardiologists are able to perform more invasive procedures such as widening a blocked artery with a coronary stent (coronary angioplasty) or fitting a pacemaker.
