What is Interventional Cardiology?

Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty of cardiology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases using catheter-based procedures. These minimally invasive procedures are performed through small incisions, typically in the wrist or groin, allowing cardiologists to access the heart and blood vessels without the need for open surgery.

Key procedures in interventional cardiology include angioplasty, in which a balloon is used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, and stent placement, where a small mesh tube is inserted to keep the artery open. Other procedures include valvuloplasty, which repairs heart valves, and catheter-based closure of congenital heart defects.

Interventional cardiology plays a critical role in the management of coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and other cardiovascular conditions, offering patients quicker recovery times, reduced risk of complications, and improved outcomes compared to traditional surgical approaches.
