How do you become a Non-Invasive Cardiologist?
2

• Cardiology deals with a variety of medical
  conditions ranging from angina, arrhythmias to
  congenital heart disease and coronary artery
  disease. Consulting a cardiologist is vital for
  successfully treating heart diseases, which often
  have to be managed extensively over several years
  with the aid of medications and surgery.
  Cardiovascular diseases are importantly diagnosed
  with the aid of tests and procedures, which are
  performed by cardiologists.

What you need to know to understand
cardiovascular disease

• The types of Cardiovascular Disease that a
  cardiologist has to deal with are many and range
  from myocardial infarction (heart attack) to
  narrowed arteries and veins, arrhythmias and
  diseases of heart valves. Congenital diseases of
  the heart, pericardial and heart muscle diseases
  are some of the other conditions that are grouped
  under CVDs. In India, especially as the
  population ages the instances of CVDs have
  steadily climbed. Worldwide WHO statistics
  indicate that 31 of all deaths were due to CVDs
  in 2016. Another statistic from the WHO shows
  that around three-quarters of all CVD related
  deaths occur in countries where the average
  income is either low or classified in the middle
  income category. In such a global scenario when
  cardiovascular diseases are the highest cause of
  mortality, cardiologists continue to play an
  important role and demand for their services will
  grow in future.

The role of a cardiologist in treating
cardiovascular disease

• Globally and in India a cardiologist helps in the
  diagnosis and treatment of those with CVDs.
  People with a variety of symptoms ranging from
  chest pain, to changes detected in routine ECGs
  are referred by general physicians to
  Cardiologists. Upon referral Cardiologists
  counsel patients on how to change their lifestyle
  so as to reduce their symptoms. In other cases
  cardiologists put patients through a variety of
  tests and then based on the results recommend or
  provide medications and treatment to patients.
  Trained to perform a variety of procedures when
  they study cardiology, cardiologists can perform
  several interventional procedures and also assist
  a heart surgeon when required.

What differentiates a cardiologist from a cardiac
surgeon?

• A cardiothoracic surgeon is trained over several
  years to operate on the heart, lungs and adjacent
  organs in the upper chest. Other cardiac surgeons
  often only specialize in surgeries of the heart
  and its valves. Cardiologists meanwhile are
  involved in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide
  range of cardiovascular diseases, ranging from
  mild cases of hypertension to problems such as
  angina and even heart rhythms issues. Some of the
  work that cardiologists do such as implantation
  of pacemakers can also be done by a cardiac
  surgeon. However, minimally-invasive cardiology
  and interventional procedures such as
  angioplasty, heart catheterizations, and stenting
  are performed by cardiologists. Cardiologists
  also play an important role in evaluating
  patients before heart surgery and work with
  cardiac surgeons to manage patients after surgery.

Understanding Cardiology

• Invasive Cardiology surgeries that require
  tissues and membranes to be incised and the chest
  to be opened.
• Non-invasive Under non-invasive cardiology the
  focus is on the use of tests and procedures
  carried out externally which aid in the diagnosis
  and treatment of CVDs.
• Interventional Based on the use of catheters,
  interventional cardiology minimizes scaring and
  pain after surgery, and includes procedures such
  angioplasty, Valvuloplasty and percutaneous
  coronary intervention.

Benefits and importance of Non-Invasive Cardiology

• Non-invasive cardiology tests and procedures are
  routinely used to manage cardiovascular diseases
  more effectively, monitor rhythm issues in the
  heart and diagnose them. The benefits of these
  tests and procedures include better monitoring of
  patients who have cardiac disease. Early
  detection of a range of CVDs using nuclear
  cardiology, echocardiography, heart monitors and
  CT scans before they become serious issues and
  result in a major cardiac related problem is also
  another benefit.
• A Fellowship in Non-Invasive Cardiology at Texila
  American University is the right choice for many,
  as it not only helps meet the increased demand
  for cardiologists, but also provides a
  specifically-designed Academic Curriculum that
  focuses on both theoretical and clinical
  components. This allows one to gain global
  exposure, and is a solid pathway to becoming a
  cardiac specialist. The program pathway allows
  for a Master of Medical Science (MMSc) Degree
  upon completion of a thesis, and includes
  opportunities to earn a stipend when training in
  hospitals.
