What are inpatient and outpatient cardiology consultations?

Inpatient cardiology consultations involve evaluations and management of patients with heart-related issues who are admitted to the hospital. These consultations typically address acute conditions like heart attacks or heart failure, requiring immediate attention. Outpatient cardiology consultations, on the other hand, occur in a clinic setting for patients who do not require hospitalization, focusing on chronic conditions, preventive care, and routine follow-ups. Both types of consultations aim to assess cardiovascular health and develop appropriate treatment plans.
