Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Non-invasive cardiologists focus on the detection and treatment of heart disease, using external tests, rather than instruments inserted into the body, to evaluate and diagnose cardiac disorders.
Dr. Clay was born in Delaware County and is one of ten children. He was married in 1987 and lives with his wife, Bernadette. They have three sons, Anthony, Luke, and Blase.
