Cardiology - Cardiovascular

Japanese: 循環器科 - じゅんかんきか(英語表記)cardiovasology
Cardiology - Cardiovascular
It is also called cardiology. It was differentiated as a specialized branch of internal medicine in the 1900s, and has come to be recognized as a university course, a medical department in hospitals, and a doctor's specialty. In Japan, the Japanese Circulation Society was formed in 1960, and courses were established at Kyushu University and other universities in 1985. All diseases of the heart and vascular system are treated, and many of the most common adult diseases, such as high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis, are treated, and many of these are chronic diseases, so it is one of the medical departments with a large number of patients.
