Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiology is a specialized area of cardiology that focuses on using minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat heart conditions. It often involves treatments like balloon angioplasty and stenting, which help open blocked arteries to improve blood flow. These procedures are typically done through small incisions and guided by imaging techniques, reducing recovery time compared to traditional surgery. Interventional cardiologists play a vital role in managing heart diseases, such as coronary artery disease, by providing effective treatments that enhance heart function and overall patient health.
