DOCTORS

Cardiovascular Doctor

You will find seven kinds of cardiovascular doctors. Patients with a substantial risk of heart disease or with heart disease will need to find a doctor who can both diagnose and treat them.
After you have been under the care of a doctor, you may need to see one or more specialists, depending on your health condition and needs. Cardiovascular specialists come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Cardiac Surgeons: Cardiac surgeons manage heart-related illnesses such as bypass surgery, valve repair and replacement, and heart transplants.

Electrophysiologists: Electrophysiologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating cardiac rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.

Interventional Cardiologists: Interventional cardiologists specialize in diagnosing and treating heart disease through procedures such as angiography and stent placement performed in cardiac catheterization labs.

Cardiologists that specialize in vascular medicine: Cardiologists who specialize in vascular medicine treat veins and arteries outside of the heart that can cause circulation difficulties in the arms and legs, sometimes known as peripheral vascular disease.

Vascular Surgeons: Vascular surgeons deal with disorders involving the veins and arteries outside of the heart, as well as impaired circulation.

Cardiac Anaesthesiologists Intensivists: Cardiac anaesthesiologists’ intensivists oversee the anaesthesia aspects of cardiothoracic surgical cases like open-heart surgery and lung surgery.

Cardio-oncologists are doctors who specialize in treating heart issues in cancer patients. Some chemotherapy drugs and radiation treatments are harmful to the heart. In the care of a patient who has received chest radiation or is taking a hazardous kind of chemotherapy, a cardio-oncologist can reduce cardiac risk and achieve the best possible outcome without hurting the heart.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialists: After a heart attack, heart surgery, an interventional treatment, or a diagnosis of heart failure, cardiac rehabilitation specialists establish and oversee exercise and diet plans for patients.
