More knowledge: Hypertension specialists have to do extra work and exams in diagnosing and treating hypertension. For example, this can involve knowing about how the diet, brain, kidneys, adrenal glands regulate blood pressure. All of these are things that cardiologists may not necessarily have expertise in (though many do). Cardiologists often instead focus on opening up blood vessels, or implanting pacemakers.
