Cardiology covers the diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular disease. Health tourism in cardiology is concentrated around interventional procedures (catheter ablation, angioplasty, valve replacement) and surgical interventions (coronary bypass, valve repair). Patient flows trend toward destinations with high case volumes and strong post-acute care.
