	Interventional cardiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interventional cardiology is a branch of the medical specialty of cardiology that deals specifically with the mechanical treatment of heart diseases.
		Insertion of artificial pacemakers is not necessarily limited to interventional cardiology.
		Some interventional cardiology procedures are only performed when there is cardiothoracic surgery expertise in the hospital, in case of complications.

	Certification Policies for Added Qualifications in Interventional Cardiology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Interventional cardiology training taken July 1, 2002 and thereafter must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
		Candidates who have been admitted previously to the interventional cardiology examination through the practice pathway and have not yet achieved certification may be admitted to future interventional cardiology examinations beyond 2003, when the practice pathway is no longer available for first-time admission.
		Those out of interventional cardiology training three years or more as of June 30 of the year of exam must document post-training performance as primary operator of 150 therapeutic interventional cardiac procedures in the two years prior to application for exam.

	Q&A: Interventional Cardiology
		Interventional cardiologists use catheters – thin, flexible tubes – to get inside blood vessels for diagnostic tests or to repair damaged vessels or other heart structures, often avoiding the need for surgery.
		Interventional cardiologists treat narrowed arteries and weakened heart valves – often caused by coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, or peripheral vascular disease.
		The Interventional Cardiology team of physicians at Brigham and Women’s Hospital are world-renowned leaders in their field – utilizing state-of-the-art technology and procedures, many of which have been developed and tested at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

		A recent major study of heart attacks published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that emergency angioplasties work so much better than drugs in the treatment of coronary artery disease that they are usually worth the wait of a hospital transfer.
		With the opening of the hospital's Heart Center, a number of interventional cardiology procedures are now available right here in town, eliminating the need to be transferred to Jacksonville or Gainesville for treatment.
		Interventional procedures, those in which catheters or other devices are inserted through blood vessels to diagnose and treat disease, include balloon angioplasty, coronary atherectomy, and cardiac stenting.

	Center for Interventional Cardiology
		We are also studying the incremental value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) over coronary angiography for assessment of moderate coronary lesions and investigating the value of FFR measurements for functional assessment of coronary stenoses in patients with prior myocardial infarction or left ventricular hypertrophy.
		Ongoing research studies include: electromechanical mapping for "on-line" assessment of myocardial viability in ischemic cardiomyopathy; fractional flow reserve and nuclear scintigraphy for the assessment of residual myocardial viability early after acute myocardial infarction; and the impact of intravenous adenosine on myocardial salvage after acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
		Opportunities exist for Cardiology fellows to be involved in one or more of these clinical research projects, either during their clinical cardiology fellowship or dedicated time during the interventional cardiology fellowship.
