DAY TODAY

Cardiologists are responsible for

patients referred to them by their

primary care physician for deeper

investigation to irregular heart issues,

breathing issues, and dizziness. Some

cardiologists work in ERs, having to

diagnose and treat in pressing and

extreme situations, but others hold

private practices and help patients

manage their blood pressure, monitor

their cardiovascular health, and find

the right balance of medication and

lifestyle to keep patients in ship shape.

SCHOOLING

All totaled, cardiologists typically need 13 full years of schooling and

training after high school, including undergraduate studies,

master’s studies, doctoral studies, residencies, and fellowships. Not

only does this represent a huge time commitment, but all that

schooling is also costly.

Many enter the field of cardiology, or

whatever their chosen specialty is, for

personal and emotional reasons

including a family history of problems

in that area or the passing of a friend

form a disease endemic of that field of

study. These are also perfectly valid

reasons to enter the field of cardiology.
