Cardiac electrophysiology is the medical science of diagnosing and treating the electrical activities of the human heart. The tests and studies of the heart are essential to assessing arrhythmias and other conditions with abnormal heart rates. Electrophysiologists are also responsible for devising appropriate treatment methods, which can include drug therapy or pacemaker or defibrillator implantation.
Physicians in the cardiac care specialty of medicine are responsible for diagnosing and treating all heart conditions. Cardiologists can be medical or surgical physicians. They use a variety of imaging procedures and diagnostic exams to determine the condition of the patient, and then utilize an array of tools and surgical techniques to treat them. Cardiac care is essential to a patient’s well-being because heart disease and heart attacks are extremely common and dangerous.
Cardiac anesthesiology is a specialty of anesthesiology. Anesthesiology is a medical/surgical field dedicated to ensuring the safety and comfort of patients during surgery.

Carbon monoxide poisoning results from the inhalation of carbon monoxide, a toxic gas. Since CO is colorless and odorless, it is difficult to detect except with specialized detectors. CO is often emitted from automobiles and power tools, and when inhaled, is dangerous or even fatal to humans. Symptoms of poisoning include, but are not limited to, headaches, vertigo, and fever. Physicians should be able to detect and treat this condition in a timely manner.
When a physician fails to diagnose a patient with cancer, it can have extremely serious repercussions. Unfortunately, the longer a patient’s cancer goes unnoticed, the more fatal the condition becomes. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to giving the patient a fighting chance against his or her disease; therefore, physicians must be absolutely vigilant to the signs and symptoms.
