FAQs on Interventional Cardiology

What Is Interventional Cardiology?

Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty of cardiology that uses special imaging tools to evaluate the blood flow and pressure of the heart. It includes the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, vascular disease and acquired structural heart disease.

What Do Interventional Cardiologists Do?

Interventional cardiologists have advanced training in the management of cardiovascular disease. They use their specialized skills to provide non-surgical, catheter-based diagnosis and treatments. A catheter, which is a small, flexible tube, is used to repair damaged vessels, narrowed arteries, and make other necessary repairs to weakened areas of the heart. This is known as cardiac catheterization.

What Conditions Are Treated by Interventional Cardiology?

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) - Disease within the heart’s major blood vessel
  • Congenital heart abnormalities - A structural problem of the heart that is present at birth
  • Heart valve disease - A malfunction in one or more of the heart valves 
  • Heart rhythm disturbances – atrial fibrillation and irregular heartbeats

What Can I Expect From The Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory?

The 澳门金沙手机官方官网 Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory is a specialized diagnostic facility that is part of our Center for Vascular Disease. It is fully accredited by the ICAVL (Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories) and uses state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment. All tests for peripheral vascular diseases are performed by vascular technologists who are registered with the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.

What Is A Vascular Ultrasound?

A vascular ultrasound is a painless, non-invasive procedure that is used to examine circulation in the blood vessels. First, a water-soluble gel is applied to the skin’s surface over the area being examined. A wand-like device called a "transducer" is then gently applied against the skin. The transducer uses reflective sound waves to provide information about the anatomy of organs and blood vessels.
