Styles of Cardiology
General Cardiology:
Medical management & sorting things out; medications, therapies, treatments, testing
Interventional:
They go in and do the thing, usually via cardiac cath, but I’m sure they do other stuff too. They also know the CVTS folks.
Structural:
Valve Clinic, replacements/TAVR, MitraCips, Watchman, un-defecting the defects (ASO, PFO). Good buddies with Heart and Lung, CardioVascular Thoracic Surgery (CVTS)
Electrophysiology (EP):
Devices, medications, procedures, devices, defib devices, ablations, all the stuff for wrestling with unruly rhythms.
“4. The patient is the one with the disease.
