Overview
Cardiology physician groups provide the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of cardiovascular disease through office-based practices, hospital affiliations, and outpatient procedural facilities — general non-invasive cardiology, interventional cardiology, and electrophysiology, often supported by in-house imaging and ambulatory diagnostics.
Cardiology became a major specialty roll-up beginning around 2021, with PE-backed platforms (US Heart & Vascular, Cardiovascular Associates of America) consolidating independent groups. Aging demographics, the shift of procedures to outpatient and office-based labs, and ancillary economics drive the thesis.
Market snapshot
Within Offices of Physicians (NAICS 621111); the Census Bureau does not split physician offices by specialty, so cardiology is not separately sized.
