  • Cardiomyopathy (weakening or enlargement of the heart muscle)
  • Congenital heart defects including patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect
  • Heart attack (myocardial infarction)
  • Heart failure
  • Abnormalities of the valves, heart valve disorders
  • Myocarditis or heart inflammation
What diagnostic tests are required by an Interventional Cardiologist?

  • General health tests like complete blood count (CBC), chest X-ray, urinalysis, blood glucose test, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid hormone tests, cholesterol panel, and blood pressure screening
  • EKG (ECG or electrocardiogram) to record your heart rhythm

The cardiologist will examine your heart health and might suggest some tests that can include urine or blood tests, an electrocardiogram (EKG), an PET, MRI, or CT scan, or a stress test. An interventional cardiologist can diagnose any existing condition and determine future risks. They will also help create a routine that benefits your overall heart health and reduces your risk of developing heart conditions.
