cardiologist or heart specialist

And a cardiologist who specializes just in diseases of the heart (rather than its general healthy functioning) is a cardiopathologist. (cardiopathologist: Web Search Results from Answers.com )

PS

Colloquially though, it would be thought excessive to say you were being treated by a 'cardiopathologist' (it would make you sound a bit of a hypochondriac). Ordinary people say 'cardiologist'. but health professionals use the more specific term.
