	Howstuffworks "Cardiologist: A Profile of a Medical Specialist"
		A cardiologist practices in a branch of internal medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the heart and circulatory system, including those that stem from birth abnormalities, diseases, or advancing age.
		For example, the cardiologist may determine that a child has been born with a hole between the chambers of the heart; the cardiovascular surgeon is the one who will repair this hole through open heart surgery.
		One special diagnostic procedure performed by cardiologists is cardiac catheterization, in which a catheter (a long, thin, flexible tube) is inserted into the heart and adjacent blood vessels, allowing the injection of a special dye that affords a view of those structures.

	Heart failure, a cardiologist explains
		* R.A.M. van Langeveld is cardiologist at the Jeroen Bosch Hospital in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands.
		It is striking that cardiologists generally speak of heart failure, whereas non-cardiologists often still use the term "decompensatio cordis".
		We cardiologists however still often say "the patient is decomposed", in which case we mean that the patient shows visible signs of heart failure.

		Also, patients cared for by both a cardiologist and a primary care physician have an even lower risk of dying within 2 years than those treated solely by a cardiologist (11.1 percent vs. 12.1 percent).
		On the other hand, the cardiologists' patients were more likely to undergo major diagnostic and treatment procedures such as angiograms and heart bypass surgery, which may have contributed to their better outcomes.
		The study also found that the patients who were less likely to see a cardiologist for followup care were those who had major chronic illnesses such as congestive heart failure, diabetes, or lung disease, and those who were fl, female, or very elderly.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Outcome after acute myocardial infarction: a comparison of patients seen by cardiologists ...
		There is a need to establish whether the involvement of a cardiologist in the management of AMI patients affects the quality and outcome of care, and if so to identify ways to improve the outcome of care for patients unable to gain access to a cardiologist.
		The survival of patients seen by a cardiologist was still better than that for those not seen by a cardiologist (hazard ratio 0.22, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.25) after controlling for the confounding effect of pre-existing comorbidity, age, sex, hospital first seen, deprivation and distance (Table 3).
		This implies that the survival advantage associated with being seen by a cardiologist is due to the more frequent use of effective medicines and is similar to findings by Chen J et al in the United States [3].
