and cardiovascular surgeons: - Cardiologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing and treating heart disease and hypertension. They perform non-invasive tests such as echocardiograms, stress tests and nuclear medicine imaging of the heart to help determine if you have heart problems.
- Invasive cardiologists perform procedures such as cardiac catheterizations and balloon angioplasty to diagnose and open blocked coronary arteries.
- Cardiothoracic surgeons, also called cardiovascular surgeons, specialize in operating on the heart and blood vessels to repair heart abnormalities, bypass blocked coronary arteries, or repair or replace defective heart valves.
