  Cardiology is a branch of medicine that treats conditions and disorders involving a patient's heart. Problems include heart failure, coronary heart disease and congenital heart defects. A cardiology program trains you to diagnose cardiovascular ailments by examining a patient's medical history and condition and running diagnostic examinations. Cardiology programs also offer opportunities to participate in research and learn more about specific diseases and developing new treatment options.
