About the Health Information

Interventional cardiology is a subspecialty of cardiology focused on diagnosing and treating heart conditions through minimally invasive procedures. This approach allows for effective management of heart disease without the need for traditional surgery, using small incisions and catheter-based techniques. These treatments are highly effective for a variety of heart conditions, including:

• Coronary Artery Disease: When fatty deposits or plaques build up in the arteries, leading to blockages that hinder blood flow to the heart.
• Heart Valve Disorders: When the valves in the heart malfunction, impacting the normal flow of blood.
• Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms that can interfere with the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively.

Angioplasty (Balloon Angioplasty):

Angioplasty is a procedure where a small balloon is inflated inside a blocked coronary artery to widen it, improving blood flow to the heart. This helps relieve chest pain (angina) and reduce the risk of a heart attack.

Stent Placement:

In many cases, angioplasty is followed by the placement of a stent—a tiny mesh tube that helps keep the artery open after the balloon is deflated. Stents are often coated with medication that helps prevent the artery from narrowing again.

Catheter-based Treatments for Arrhythmias:

For patients with arrhythmias, catheter-based procedures such as catheter ablation are performed to target and treat the irregular electrical pathways in the heart. This method helps restore normal heart rhythm with minimal recovery time.

Transcatheter Valve Replacement:

For patients with severe heart valve disease, a catheter can be used to replace a damaged valve, avoiding the need for open-heart surgery. This procedure can be a game-changer for elderly patients or those who are not candidates for traditional surgery.

Faster Recovery:
One of the main advantages of interventional cardiology is the significantly quicker recovery time compared to traditional heart surgery. Many procedures can be done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day or after a brief hospital stay.

Reduced Risk:
Since these treatments avoid large incisions and general anaesthesia, the risk of complications such as infections, excessive bleeding, or prolonged recovery is minimised.

Improved Quality of Life:
Minimally invasive heart procedures not only treat the condition effectively but also help restore heart function, reducing symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath. This enables patients to return to their normal activities sooner.

Precision and Effectiveness:
With advanced imaging and catheter technology, cardiologists can perform precise interventions to target specific areas of concern within the heart, ensuring optimal outcomes.
