The 2023 Cardiovascular Business Salary and Job Satisfaction Report is here! We surveyed cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, nurses, service line mangers, coders and others in the industry about several topics, including compensation, burnout, EHRs and much more.

According to new data out of the U.S. Department of Labor, physicians have the highest-paying jobs in a majority of states. Cardiologists specifically rank No. 1 in two different states. 

Cardiology came in at No. 3 among all healthcare specialties, trailing only plastic surgery ($619,000) and orthopedics ($573,000).

New research presented at the 103rd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery examined the lack of diversity seen in this important specialty. 

Almost all of the country's top 25 highest-paying jobs are physicians, according to new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Both cardiology and pediatric cardiology saw bumps in pay from 2021 to 2022. For many other specialties, however, that was not the case. 

Diving deeper into the data, researchers noted that 40.8% of the payments were tied to speaker fees. Another 19% were from consulting fees.
