Cardiology
What does the Cardiology Department at Paramount comprise of?
The cardiology department at Paramount is responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases related to the heart and blood vessels. The department is staffed by highly trained medical professionals who specialize in the field of cardiology. One of the most important roles within the cardiology department is that of the cardiologist surgeon. Cardiologist Surgeons are specially trained to perform surgeries on the heart and blood vessels. They may perform procedures such as coronary artery bypass surgery, valve replacement surgery, or repair of congenital heart defects. Cardiologist surgeons work closely with other members of the cardiology team to ensure that patients receive the most comprehensive care possible.
