Invasive Cardiology

Invasive cardiology is the field that assesses and treats the condition of the coronary arteries supplying the heart using catheter-based techniques. This approach allows vascular-access interventions without the need for open-heart surgery. The information gathered during diagnostic evaluation helps the physician determine the most suitable treatment plan.
