The Clinical pharmacist is a persons knowing Clinical pharmacy which is the branch of Pharmacy where pharmacists provide patient care that optimizes the use of medication and promotes health, wellness, and disease prevention. Clinical pharmacists care for patients in all health care settings but the clinical pharmacy movement initially began inside Hospitals and clinics. Clinical pharmacists often collaborate with Physicians and other healthcare professionals. Clinical pharmacists have extensive education in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, sociobehavioral, and clinical sciences. Most clinical pharmacists have an advanced degree in pharmacy (e.g. Masters or Doctor of Pharmacy degree) and many have completed post-graduate training (e.g. a pharmacy residency). Many clinical pharmacists also choose to become a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS), a Board Certified Oncology Pharmacist (BCOP), or a Board Certified Psychiatric Pharmacist (BCPP) through the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialities (BPS).

Whereas a cardiologist is a specialist in Heart related diseases only and he is specially qualified and trained on this subject.

So unless you get yourself qualified in Cardiology, you should not practice. -
