Interventional Cardiology

Interventional cardiologists specialize in the treatment of various heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, and congenital heart disease. They employ a minimally invasive approach known as catheterization to address a wide range of heart and vascular conditions. This method offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, such as reduced invasiveness and faster recovery times. General Responsibilities: 1. Performing procedures such as cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty 2. Reviewing referrals from other healthcare professionals 3. Explaining procedures and treatment options to patients 4. Inserting stents into arteries to improve blood flow 5. Repairing heart valves through minimally invasive techniques 6. Conducting follow-up appointments with patients to monitor their progress
