Topic

Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of heart diseases. An increasing number of procedures can be performed on the heart by catheterization including coronary and structural heart interventions. These methods revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of cardiology. The course gives and introduction into indications, working environment and armamentarium involving medical devices and adjunctive therapy.
