Interventional cardiology is a
special branch of cardiology which utilizes
catheter-based treatments for diseases of the heart.
This usually involves inserting a sheath into the radial
or femoral artery and advancing guidewires and catheters
up to the heart. Conditions for which you may be
referred to an interventional cardiologist include
coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular heart
diseases and blood clots to the lung.
