Dear,

If you are a doctor and you are thinking about which one to specialise in- cardiology or neurology. I would say, pick neurology, as there are fewer neurologists than cardiologists. However, the burden of neurological diseases is increasing.It would also depend on which subject you like more.As doctors, both cardiologists and neurologists are important for treating diseases of their specialities.

Cardiology rather a cardiologist is a person who looks after those experiencing chest pains or shortness of breath. These specialists focus on the health of hearts, arteries, and veins, especially for individuals with hearth rhythm issues or those who have survived a heart attack. Non-invasive cardiologists interpret the results of various tests, including echo cardiograms and MRI scans. They may also observe stress tests to determine the health of someone's vascular system during strenuous activity. Interventional cardiologists, however, perform cardiac catheterizations or major bypass surgery on the heart .

Someone struggling with vision, coordination, and language skills may see a neurologist for testing. These doctors treat nervous system disorders related to the brain and spinal cord. By examining the patient's reflexes, movement, and eyes, neurologists can determine if the patient needs further testing. The kinds of tests ordered and interpreted by neurologists include lumbar punctures to obtain spinal fluid and electroencephalography, which produces images of the brain. After finding abnormalities in the tests, neurologists may diagnose individuals with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, or as having had a stroke.

Hope this helps!
