A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery, whereas a cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. The cardiologist will carry out tests and they may perform some procedures, such as heart catheterization, angioplasty or pacemaker insertion. Dr. Chin attributes his successful career to his love of the field and his ability to keep abreast of developments by becoming a lifelong learner. When he is not seeing patients, he enjoys writing and reading cardiology journal publications.
