Cardiologists
Cardiologists are doctors who specialize in treating disease within the heart and blood vessels. These doctors must complete four years of medical school, three years of general internal medicine, and then three more years of cardiology training. With this training cardiologists can treat high blood pressure, heart failure, as well as issues with valves and blood vessels. If you have issues that are not able to be treated by the cardiologist they may refer you to a cardiothoracic surgeon.
