Cardiology Medical Terminology (English & Spanish)

A clear, practical, and bilingual cardiology reference for today's healthcare professionals.

Cardiology is one of the most critical and communication-heavy fields in medicine - especially when discussing symptoms, explaining procedures, or guiding patients through complex heart-related tests and treatments. Medical Terminology Guide: Cardiology Edition was created to support nurses, physicians, interpreters, medical assistants, and allied health professionals who work with Spanish-speaking patients in cardiovascular settings.

This guide includes 200+ essential cardiology terms and patient communication phrases presented in a clean, modern, easy-to-read format. Each entry features the English term, its Spanish equivalent, and a simple phonetic pronunciation to help non-Spanish-speaking staff communicate clearly and confidently.

Whether you're reviewing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or swelling - or explaining tests and procedures like EKGs, echocardiograms, stress tests, cardiac catheterization, or stent placement - this guide keeps the cardiology vocabulary you need right at your fingertips.
