A cardiologist's speciality is the heart. This includes the heart's valves, chambers, great vessels, electrical conduction system, etc. A cardiologist can also specialize in his field. An example of a sub-speciality in cardiology is Electrophysiology (treatment of disorders in the heart's electrical conduction system: SA node, AV node, Bundle of HIS, Purkinje Fibers), etc.
Cardiologists treat various problems like mitral valve prolapse, mitral valve stenosis, congestive heart failure, aortic valve stenosis, arrhythmias, and many, many other things.
As for drugs, there are far too many to list. Commonly prescribed drugs might include Digitalis, Atenelol, Coreg, etc.
