Cardiology (Cardiovascular Medicine) is the medical specialty that deals with diseases, disorders, and conditions of the heart. Doctors specializing in this non-surgical field of medicine are called cardiologists and may be M.D.’s or D.O.’s. Cardiology also includes the study of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) that comprise the circulatory system. Physicians in this field have the experience to determine the proper standard of care for treating patients who suffer from, or are at risk for, congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, vascular diseases, heart inflammation, deep vein thrombosis, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, as well as many other cardiac-related issues. Common tools and diagnostic techniques used in the practice of cardiology include blood testing, stress tests, an electrocardiogram (E.K.G. / E.C.G.), and balloon angioplasties. Pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices such as pacemakers may be recommended to improve patients’ conditions. A cardiologist may refer his or her patients to other medical specialists, such as a cardiothoracic surgeon or cardiac surgeon, for further evaluation if needed. Local, state & federal governments & agencies, law firms, insurance companies, and corporations/in-house counsels may use cardiology experts throughout the northern, southern, eastern, western, and mid-western regions of the United States as consultants and/or expert witnesses in their legal cases (in both federal and state courts), in arbitrations & mediations, as well as in non-litigation matters where the cardiology expert serves as a consultant. So when cardiology experts are asked to participate in criminal cases or civil lawsuits for district attorneys (the prosecution / prosecutors), plaintiff, or defense attorneys the cardiology experts can review the case, offer their opinion, and if they support the retaining lawyer’s case, they can write an expert report, or sign a certificate of merit. If the lawyer’s case does not settle, the forensic expert can provide deposition testimony, and trial testimony.
