Invasive Cardiology
Invasive Cardiology involves the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases using catheters and other minimally-invasive techniques to access the heart and surrounding blood vessels. This field utilizes procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and cardiac catheterization to diagnose and treat conditions like coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and heart valve disorders. Invasive Cardiology procedures often involve threading a thin tube through blood vessels to deliver medication, open blockages, or repair damaged areas of the heart. These interventions are typically performed in a specialized cardiac catheterization lab by highly trained medical professionals.
