Cardiology is a medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the heart. Any time you have a significant heart or heart-related condition, you may require the attention of a cardiologist. Symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pains, or dizzy spells often require special testing and clinical expertise.
Kelsey-Seybold Clinic’s cardiologists offer new therapies and technology for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease. These include stent grafting to repair blockage in the carotid arteries (read more) and minimally invasive surgery to repair Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (read more).
