Cardiology
Cardiology is the branch of science that examines diseases related to the heart and circulatory system. Cardiology, which was a sub-branch of the internal medicine department, is now a separate department. A doctor with medical education becomes a cardiologist by making his specialty in cardiology. People with symptoms such as fatigue, cyanosis, palpitations, fainting, night urination, edema, shortness of breath and chest pain are treated in the cardiology department.Â
