Interventional Cardiology
Interventional cardiology offers minimally invasive procedures that diagnose and treat heart and vascular conditions, improving symptoms, blood flow, and long-term heart health.
What Is Interventional Cardiology?
Interventional cardiology focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions using minimally invasive, catheter-based procedures instead of open surgery. These treatments help restore blood flow, relieve symptoms, and prevent serious cardiac events while allowing faster recovery.
Under the care of Dr. Rishi Bhargava, interventional cardiology procedures are planned after detailed evaluation, ensuring safety, precision, and long-term heart health improvement for each patient.
Conditions Treated With Interventional Cardiology
Interventional cardiology addresses a wide range of heart and blood vessel conditions requiring precise, minimally invasive treatment approaches.
- Coronary artery disease: Blocked heart arteries are treated to restore healthy blood flow and reduce heart attack risk
- Chest pain due to blockages: Identifies and treats narrowed arteries causing angina symptoms
- Heart attack management: Emergency procedures help reopen blocked arteries quickly
- Structural heart conditions: Certain valve and vessel abnormalities are managed without open surgery
Common Interventional Procedures
Several interventional techniques are used depending on the heart condition and patient needs.
- Coronary angiography: Uses contrast imaging to locate artery blockages
- Angioplasty: Widens narrowed arteries using a balloon
- Stent placement: Keeps arteries open using a metal mesh device
- Peripheral interventions: Treats blockages in blood vessels outside the heart
Benefits of Interventional Cardiology
These procedures offer effective treatment with fewer risks compared to traditional heart surgery.
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster recovery time
- Reduced surgical trauma
- Lower complication risk
- Early return to daily activities
When Interventional Treatment Is Recommended
Interventional procedures are advised when medications alone are not enough to control heart symptoms or prevent disease progression.
- Persistent chest pain
- Abnormal stress test or angiography results
- Heart attack or high-risk blockages
- Worsening heart symptoms despite medication
