What Is a Cardiologist?

Cardiologists are heart doctors. They focus on the electrical activity of the heart as well as arteries, veins, and other blood vessels of the body that transport blood to and from the heart. Problems affecting your heart can seriously restrict the activities you are able to perform and impair your quality of life. Examples of heart disease or problems include arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack), coronary artery disease, and peripheral artery disease.

Heart and circulatory system disorders can be structural defects present at birth or acquired over time. Your cardiologist at Beloit Health System will explore preventative, rehabilitative, diagnostic, interventional, and surgical treatments for your heart condition, depending on what you need. By using the least invasive heart procedures possible, patients have better healing and recovery times.
