Cardiology

Cardiology is the branch of internal medicine that deals with the treatment of diseases that affect the heart and the blood vessels. The cardiovascular system is responsible for pumping and circulating blood throughout the body. Examples of common diseases include coronary artery disease, heart failure, congenital heart defects, and valvular heart disease. Some common tests which your cardiologist may carry out include blood tests, electrocardiograms, and echocardiograms.

Haematology & Transplantation

Haematology is the branch of biology that is concerned with the study of blood. Blood diseases such as anemia, leukemia and lymphoma may be diagnosed by haematologists, who are physicians trained in the care and treatment of haematological diseases. Common blood tests test for complete blood count, white blood count, platelet count, and haemoglobin level.

Neurology

Diseases affecting the brain, nervous system and spinal cord are usually diagnosed with a neurologic examination. This is not to be confused with a psychiatric examination, which merely focuses on a patient's behaviour. It is important to understand that mental illnesses are typically classified separately from disorders of the central nervous system. Major neurological disorders include cerebral palsy, speech and language disorders, tumours of the brain, and movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
