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

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.

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

Cardiology Did you know about 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year that’s 1 in every 4 deaths… WOW! Also, did you know heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2009 were in men. A career in cardiology is important because this field can help save someone’s life. A career in cardiology can be beneficial to society today

In the first week of elective, we met Dr. Osama Khayat who gave us an introduction about the hospital and cardiology department, and he asked us some questions about our university and in which year we are. After that pleasure meeting with Dr. Osama, he also introduced us to the medical team, which consist of a consultant, residents, interns and nurses at the Coronary Care Unit (CCU). After that, we started the ward rounds with them in the CCU. We began in room one, there was a 56-year-old male patient
