What is invasive interventional cardiology?

Invasive Interventional Cardiology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating heart and vascular conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Cardiologists in this field use catheters and specialized tools to perform interventions such as angioplasty, stent placement, and other techniques to open blocked arteries or repair heart defects. These procedures are typically performed through small incisions, which can lead to faster recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.
