What is Interventional Cardiology?
Interventional cardiology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart and blood vessel conditions without open-heart surgery. Here in Dubai, we offer interventional cardiology services, utilizing the latest technology and techniques to provide exceptional and precise care.
Interventional Cardiology vs. Cardiology
While both specialties focus on heart health, there are key differences
Cardiology
This broader field encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of all heart conditions. Cardiologists can perform tests, prescribe medications, and manage chronic heart diseases with invasive or non-invasive procedures.
Interventional Cardiology
This is a specialized branch focused on minimally invasive procedures to treat heart and blood vessel conditions. Interventional cardiologists often work in collaboration with general cardiologists.
