I’m doing a project on cardiology or more specifically, a cardiologist. So, I could use all the information I can get. And, if anyone can help me get in touch with someone who actually has experience as a cardiologist by email, that would be awesome. 
Thanks.
Best Answer: There are several types of roles that a cardiologist can play:
1) Non-invasive cardiologist, which is a cardiologist that takes care of patients with cardiac medical problems and performs and reads non-invasive studies, such as echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, stress tests, nuclear stress tests, and Holter monitors2) Invasive cardiologist, which is a cardiologist who does the same thing as #1, but also does cardiac catheterizations but no interventions such as stenting of coronaries3) Interventional cardiologist, which is a cardiologist who performs cardiac catheterizations with interventions, sometimes referred to as the "plumbers" of cardiology4) Electrophysiologist, which is a cardiologist who treats abnormal cardiac rhthms (called arrhythmias) by using medications, implanting pacemakers, or performing EP (electrophysiology) studies to look for the electrical abnormalities in the heart and treat them by using catheters to ablate the sites where the problems occur. They are sometimes referred to as the "electricians" of cardiologyHope this helps as a starting point.

Nobody relishes the thought of looking for a job, and many of us need all the help we can get. After being jobless recently I netted a great job after visiting the resource in the box below, I work for myself, using my pc with SMC. They’re a very well respected company and they’re sponsored by Tom Boswell of Happy Days (Howard Cunningham)
