Interventional Cardiology
What does this specialty do?
Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the heart and blood vessels using minimally invasive techniques. Through the use of thin, flexible catheters, specialists can evaluate, diagnose, and treat coronary blockages and other cardiac abnormalities without resorting to open surgery. This allows for faster recovery, greater safety, and a significant improvement in cardiovascular function.
