What Is an Interventional Cardiologist?
An interventional cardiologist specializes in non-surgical techniques to treat blocked arteries and chest pain and prevent heart attacks caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. The interventionist’s tools of choice are balloons, used to inflate the artery to open blood flow, and stents, which are tiny spring-like wires used to hold blocked arteries open.
