Cardiology refers to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases relating to the heart and the cardiovascular system. A cardiologist is different from a cardiac surgeon as they do not cut into the heart; that is the job of a surgeon. They simply identify the problem and refer them to a high-quality surgeon. An interventional cardiologist, however, can carry out procedures such as angioplasties, stenting, valvuloplasties, congenital heart defect corrections, and coronary thrombectomies.
