  • Cardiology is the specialty within medicine that looks at the heart and blood vessels
  • Your heart consists of four chambers which pump blood to your lungs and then the rest of your body
  • The study of the heart includes: 
    • the heart muscle (the myocardium)
    • the valves within the heart between the chambers
