A cardiologist is a medical specialist whose main responsibility is to identify and treat heart ailments. He/she is a physician focusing on the heart, a vital organ in the human body. Treatment of heart problems may range from medication to cardiac surgery in order to repair and restore the good working condition of the heart and/or its valves.

The job of a cardiologist is to put in place measures which are aimed to prevent cardiovascular disease: heart failure, hypertension, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia ...

The cardiologist puts his patient through a series of tests and examinations : (EKG, stress test ...) to get a medical impression of their general health and the health of their heart in particular. After analyzing the results, the cardiologist will give a diagnosis and recommend treatment. This usually consists of the adoption of a special diet, some physical activity or, if the case is serious, surgery.

The cardiologist then remains in contact with patients to monitor their progress and help them to lead a life that is as normal as possible.
