There are many excellent books in cardiology, so the "best" book can vary depending on personal preference and learning style. Some popular choices among medical students and professionals include "Braunwald's Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine" and "The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine."

Cardiology is an internal medicine specialty dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the human heart.

A cardiology doctor specifically deals with the heart. The Physicians that have studied in only this field are cardiologists. Cardiologists can even help possibly prevent a heart attack if caught in time. They are very important doctors and help save alot of people when caught in time!

The cardiovascular system, which consists of the heart and lungs (cardiovascular system also includes veins and arteries).

Cardiology is one of the branches of medicine that deals with heart related issues.

Today, in order to provide the quality care to patients, cardiologists are ensuring use of Electronic Health Records. One of the advantages of electronic documentation would be the reduction in increasing number of fatalities, thereby improving overall quality of healthcare.

Left ear or aortic stenosis, depending on the context.

to write something down

You need to firstly graduate from college. Then you need to complete a medical degree in order to get either an MD or a DO. Then you need to do a residency in Cardiology.

All I know is that average girls aged 12 would have a resting heart rate (RHR) of 80, and one of 14 would have a RHR of 85.

If it's higher then the average RHR (Per minute) then that would be bad. Lower would be good.

Although I am 14, and mine is 70, yet I'm not that athletic, I'm a fast runner, but that at the most.

Most places will cost about $50000 a year to study pathology, in a 3 year program it would be about $150000 to complete the courses needed to graduate and become a pathologist.

The P wave on ECG corresponds to electrical depolarization of the atria. It should be positive in lead II and negative in aVR when the P wave originates in the sinoatrial node.

A Littlmann Cardiology III stethoscope is not as expensive as it could be when found at the right location. Medical sites will typically charge more for their items. Meanwhile, sites like Amazon have these stethoscopes anywhere from $75 to 150 with the average being around 110 dollars.

Median annual earnings of cardiovascular technologists and technicians were $42,300 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $29,900 and $55,670. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $23,670, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $67,410. Median annual earnings of cardiovascular technologists and technicians in 2006 were $41,960 in offices of physicians and $41,950 in general medical and surgical hospitals.

Relieve the pressure off the heart by removing the excess fluid or blood.

This is performed either by pericardiocentesis, which is the procedure where a large needle is inserted into the pericardium and the blood/fluid is removed. If the cause is an injury to the heart itself, this may be enough of a temporizing measure (but definitely not curative) to allow the patient to have the time to make it to the operating room with a cardiac surgeon who can repair the injury. If the patient loses vital signs in the Emergency room and is not stable enough to go to the operating room (OR), an emergency thoracotomy may need to be performed. The left chest is opened emergently and the pericardium is entered primarily in an effort to find the damage to the heart and repair it temporarily to allow the patient to go to the OR for primary repair and closure.

Unfortunately, hemopericardium and tamponade caused by primary cardiac rupture/injury is not something most will survive, and emergency thoracotomy has a survival rate of less than 5 percent (probably on the order of 1 to 2 percent survival). It really is a last-ditch effort to save someone's life, but in most cases is not successful, despite a physician's best efforts.

Around 23,000 Cardiologists across US.

The walls of your heart are about half an inch thick pretty thick huh!

No. The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction, or the death of heart myocardium (basically the heart muscle). Coronary Heart Disease (CAD) is a disease where plaques of cholesterol are deposited in the heart's coronary arteries (which feed the heart blood during diastole). Ruptures of these plaques can cause clots in may however result or cause myocardial infarctions, due to a sudden yet complete blockage of a coronary artery.

The primary reason for conducting a cardiac catheterization is to diagnose and manage persons known or suspected to have heart disease, a frequently fatal condition that leads to 1.5 million heart attacks annually in the United States.
