A cardiologist studies the heart and the diagnosis and treatment of its diseases through procedures such as a catherization or angiogram. Cardiologists can treat some blockages with balloon angioplasty or stent. A cardiac surgeon actually makes incisions in the chest to treat diseases of the heart by replacing or repairing diseased valves or bypassing parts of arteries leaving your heart.
