From 'cardialgia' + '-ic' (relating to). This adjective form allows 'cardialgia' to modify nouns, like 'cardialgic pain' or 'cardialgic symptoms.'
Adding '-ic' to nouns creates the adjective form—it's so automatic in English that we barely notice we're doing it, but each '-ic' is a grammatical tool inherited from Latin and Greek medical writing.
