Cardiology is a branch of internal medicine. A cardiologist is not the same as a cardiac surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist like Dr. Gottlieb, specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. 

Cardiac electrophysiology is the science of elucidating, diagnosing, and treating the electrical activity of the heart. The term is usually used to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive catheter recording of spontaneous activity, as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation. A cardiac electrophysiologist is a healthcare provider who treats heart rhythm problems.
