What is Cardiology?

Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine that deals with studying the cardiovascular system. It deals with studying and treating the disorders associated with the Cardiovascular system. A cardiovascular system is a combination of heart and blood vessels which include arteries and veins. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the whole body through arteries while the veins carry deoxygenated blood from other body parts to the heart. There is a slight difference between heart disease and cardiovascular diseases. Heart diseases are specifically related to the heart, while cardiovascular diseases include the heart and blood vessels.
