Looking for a heart doctor or heart specialist? A cardiologist is the medical term for a heart doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions like chest pain, heart attacks, blocked arteries, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure and heart failure. If you or a family member has been experiencing chest pain, breathlessness or any heart-related concern, a cardiologist is the right doctor to see. In India, a qualified heart specialist typically holds MBBS, MD (General Medicine) and DM (Cardiology). When choosing a heart doctor, look for hospital affiliation with a cardiac catheterisation lab and ask whether the doctor is an interventional specialist, meaning one who performs procedures like angioplasty.
