Cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Cardiologists study the function of the heart and blood vessels and treat a variety of conditions, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart attacks. Examinations by a cardiologist, including ECG, heart ultrasound and coronary angiography, help to make an accurate diagnosis and plan optimal therapy.
In Europe, about 49 million people suffer from cardiovascular diseases, and these diseases are the main cause of death for half of the population both in Europe and in our country. In Serbia, where about 2 million people suffer from these diseases, over 52,000 people lose their lives every year.
