Cardiology

Cardiology is the field of medicine dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels, collectively known as the cardiovascular system. The heart is a vital organ that pumps oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout the body, while blood vessels facilitate circulation to and from the heart, lungs, and other organs. Cardiologists at BASS Medical Group are highly trained specialists who provide expert care to maintain and improve cardiovascular health. They also play a key role in preventative care by educating patients on risk factors and lifestyle habits that promote heart health.
