Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).
Among Dr. Daum’s various accolades include Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2014, 2013, 2012, 2011), Patients’ Choice Award (2016, 2014, 2012, 2011), and On-Time Doctor Award (2016, 2014).
