Interventional Cardiology is a specialized branch of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Instead of traditional surgery, interventional cardiologists use techniques like angioplasty and stenting to open blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This approach often leads to quicker recovery times and less pain for patients. These procedures are typically performed in a hospital's catheterization lab, where doctors can access the heart through blood vessels. Interventional cardiologists work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease and heart attacks.
