Interventional Cardiology
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Not all heart conditions require major surgery. Interventional cardiology uses special imaging and diagnostics to evaluate blood flow to the heart, as well as to treat implications of the cardiovascular system. At times, cardiologists may conduct interventional cardiology procedures in a cardiac catheterization lab for patients who apply. This involves inserting a catheter into the artery and into the heart to diagnose and treat diseases like coronary artery disease, vascular disease, and heart disease.
