To pursue MD in cardiology after a B.Sc in cardiology, you must first complete an MBBS degree as MD requires a medical background. In India, enroll in MBBS through NEET-UG and then qualify for MD Cardiology via NEET-PG. For foreign countries, seek MBBS-equivalent qualifications and clear licensing exams like USMLE (USA) or PLAB (UK). Direct master's options in allied fields like cardiovascular technology are also available internationally.

Pursuing an MD in Cardiology after completing a BSc in Cardiovascular Technology is not typically a direct path.
To specialize in Cardiology as a medical doctor, you would generally need to pursue MBBS. After completing MBBS, you would need to undergo further specialisation (MD or MS) in cardiology through a residency program.
This pathway involves several years of rigorous medical education and clinical training to become a qualified cardiologist.

Yes, with a DM in Cardiology, one acquires skill in the performance of procedures such as angiograms, angioplasties, and PTMCs. All these interventions involve introducing wires through the wrist or thigh up to the heart—very specialized skills that not all cardiologists possess.
After DM, most cardiologists seek fellowships or FNB in Interventional Cardiology to learn and master these techniques.
Further, to specialize as a Cardiac Surgeon, one needs an MS/DNB in General Surgery followed by an MCh/DNB in Cardiothoracic Surgery.
