Cardiology

Details

Many at times, a cardiologist is often mistaken for a cardiac surgeon. But these are two different doctors who have different roles. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and perform heart surgery, but a cardiologist’s expertise is in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. In its broadest form, cardiology refers to a branch of medicine that deals with congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology.

The cost of treating any problems relating to the cardiovascular system in the US, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, the UK and Australia is nearly six times the price of the cost in Turkey. This doesn’t mean that the quality of treatment is compromised in Turkey, but the country generally have a low cost of living when comparing to the aforementioned countries.
