What is an interventional cardiologist?
An interventional cardiologist treats cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease by inserting catheters into an artery (the intervention). This procedure is used to open up blocked arteries that would have potentially caused heart attack and is a minimally invasive procedure. Interventional cardiologists will then gather data about the patient’s condition and work towards repairing the damage.
Dr Al-Fiadh also specialises in echocardiography where he can read an echocardiograph of the heart and determine whether or not there is an abnormality, and if there is one, what the next step to recovery is.
