FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an interventional cardiologist?

An interventional cardiologist is a heart doctor who is trained to diagnose and treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels using minimally invasive techniques, such as angioplasty and placing a stent, to open arteries that have become blocked or narrowed.

When should I see an interventional cardiologist?

People with coronary artery disease, angina/profound or severe chest pain, heart attacks, unstable angina, or blockages detected by other tests should see an interventional cardiologist.

What procedures can interventional cardiologists perform?

Common procedures include:

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)
Angioplasty and stenting
Balloon dilation of blocked arteries
Treatment of peripheral artery disease
Cardiac valve disease treated via catheter

Is the treatment painful?

Procedures are minimally invasive and usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Patients can feel mild pressure during the procedure, but typically do not experience significant pain.

How long is the recovery?

Generally, the recovery process is shorter than open-heart surgery. Some patients may go home within 24–48 hours of a simple PCI procedure, and full recovery is usually in a few weeks.

Can interventional cardiology treat heart attacks in an emergency?

Yes. Interventional cardiologists have been trained to perform emergency procedures, such as PCI, in acute heart attacks to restore blood flow and reduce damage to the heart.
