Interventional Cardiologist in Amravati: What Does One Do?
An interventional cardiologist is a heart specialist trained to treat heart problems using thin tubes (catheters) instead of open surgery.
What they treat
- Blocked heart arteries causing angina or a heart attack
- Narrowed arteries found on angiography
- Selected valve and rhythm problems, and some blood vessel disease outside the heart
Common procedures
- Coronary angiography to see the arteries
- Angioplasty with stent placement to open a blockage
- Emergency angioplasty during a heart attack
- Pacemaker and other device procedures where needed
Why it helps
- Procedures are usually done through the wrist or groin with local anaesthesia
- Most patients recover faster than after open surgery
- Dr. Pavan Agrawal directs the cath lab at Radiant Super Speciality Hospital, Amravati
