Do I need a Cardiologist or Cardiac Surgeon?

Consultant Cardiologist Dr Julian Collinson explains how cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are increasingly working together to provide the latest treatment for common heart conditions. He says:  "A team approach is key to the modern treatment of heart conditions as this ensures that the right treatment for an individual patient can be decided upon by a group of medical experts with a wide range of specialist skills and experience. Cardiologists and cardiac surgeons often work together to provide the best treatment and care for patients."
