Cardiology Procedures

•      Cardiac Catheterization: A diagnostic procedure where a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel to assess heart function and blood flow.
• Coronary Angiography: An imaging technique that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize the coronary arteries for blockages or abnormalities.
• Balloon Angioplasty (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty – PTCA): A procedure to widen narrowed or blocked arteries using a balloon-tipped catheter.
• Stent Placement: Often performed alongside angioplasty, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed to keep the artery open.
• Pacemaker Implantation: Surgical placement of a device to regulate abnormal heart rhythms.
• Closure of Heart Defects: Minimally invasive techniques to close structural heart defects, such as atrial septal defects.
• Venous Thrombosis Intervention: Procedures to remove or dissolve blood clots in veins, restoring normal blood flow.
•      Heart Valve Repair or Replacement: Using catheters to repair or replace malfunctioning heart valves without open-heart surgery.
• Left Atrial Appendage Closure: A procedure to reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation by closing off the left atrial appendage.
• Atherectomy: Removal of plaque from arteries to restore blood flow, often used in cases where angioplasty isn’t sufficient.

Diagnostic Tests in Interventional Cardiology

•      Electrocardiogram (ECG): Measures the electrical activity of the heart to detect arrhythmias or other abnormalities.
•      2D Echocardiography: Ultrasound imaging to assess heart structures and function.
• Color Doppler: Evaluates blood flow through the heart and vessels, identifying blockages or leaks.
• Stress Test/Treadmill Test (TMT): Assesses heart function under physical stress to detect ischemia or other issues.
• 24-hour ECG Monitor (Holter Monitor): Continuous recording of heart rhythms over 24 hours to detect intermittent arrhythmias.
• 24-hour Blood Pressure Monitor (ABPM): Monitors blood pressure fluctuations over a day to diagnose hypertension.
• Computed Tomography (CT) of Coronary Arteries: Non-invasive imaging to detect coronary artery disease.
• Intracardiac Echocardiogram: Provides detailed images of heart structures from within the heart chambers.
• Heart MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate heart anatomy and function.
• Chest X-ray: Assesses heart size and detects fluid in the lungs or other chest abnormalities.

Conditions Managed by Interventional Cardiologists

• Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries leading to chest pain or heart attacks.
• Heart Valve Disorders: Conditions like stenosis or regurgitation affecting valve function.
• Congenital Heart Defects: Structural abnormalities present from birth, such as septal defects.
•     Arrhythmias: Irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Blockages in arteries outside the heart, often in the legs.
• Venous Thromboembolism: Blood clots in veins, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
•      Hypertension: High blood pressure requiring monitoring and management.   
•      Heart Failure: A condition where the heart cannot pump blood effectively.
