intervention cardiology

Interventional cardiology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Instead of traditional surgery, interventional cardiologists use techniques like catheterization, where thin tubes are inserted into blood vessels to access the heart. This can help open blocked arteries, place stents to keep them open, or repair heart valves. The goal is to improve blood flow and heart function while minimizing recovery time and risks compared to open-heart surgery. It plays a critical role in managing heart disease and preventing complications.
