Cardiologists are responsible for evaluating the condition of your heart and cardiovascular system as a whole. Their diagnosis provides a clear picture of what type of treatment a patient will need, whether that is direct intervention, surgery, drug therapy, or lifestyle changes. Cardiologists may only see a patient once, or they may take leadership of a patient’s continuing treatment.
If a patient requires immediate intervention—such as when a patient has a blockage keeping blood from vital areas—cardiologists will act quickly to ensure patients are kept safe and healthy. These can include implanting stents, angioplasty, or minimally invasive procedures that do not require open chest surgery. These procedures are all performed in the catheterization lab (or “cath lab”).
