About Interventional Cardiologist

An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist specialized in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular diseases, congenital (present at birth) and structural heart conditions through catheter based procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting.

If your cardiologist advises you to undergo an angiogram test to understand in more detail about the blockages in your arteries, then you will have to visit an interventional cardiologist for the same.

Interventional Cardiology is the branch of medicine within the subspecialty of cardiology that uses diagnostic techniques to evaluate the blood pressure and flow in the coronary arteries and chambers of the heart. It also covers the technical procedures and medications to treat abnormalities that impair the function of the cardiovascular system.

An interventional cardiology provides treatment options for various heart and vascular conditions, such as:

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD)
  • Valvular heart disease
  • Structural and non-valvular heart disease
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
  • Resistant hypertension
  • Atrial septal defect
  • Patent foramen ovale

Procedures Performed

  • Heart valve repair or replacement
  • Balloon aortic valvuloplasty
  • Balloon mitral valvuloplasty
  • Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
  • Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR)
  • Treatments for arteries
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (angioplasty and stenting)
  • Hybrid coronary revascularization
  • Complex coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions
  • Heart defect repair
  • Atrial septal defect closure
  • Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure
  • Reduction of stroke risk
  • Left atrial appendage closure
