According to central place theory, cardiologists are more rare than general practice doctors because they serve as a specialized service that has a larger market area due to their specialized knowledge and skills. This means that they require a larger population base to support their practice, as fewer people need their specific services compared to the broader services offered by general practitioners. Consequently, cardiologists are typically located in larger urban centers where there is a higher concentration of patients, whereas general practice doctors can be found in smaller communities where their services are in broader demand.
