Who is an Interventional Cardiologist?

These experts help in diagnosing and treating conditions like coronary heart disease, vascular disease, or any structural issues in the heart, without the need for extensive and invasive surgeries.

They deal with congenital problems as well as chronic ailments.

When should you see an Interventional Cardiologist?

You need to visit an interventional cardiologist when your GP or cardiologist (دل کا ڈاکٹر) refers to one. Moreover, people requiring processes like angiography also need to visit interventional cardiologist.

One also needs to visit the interventional cardiologist when your physician suspects a case of ischemic heart disease, which refers to the narrowing of the arteries. This needs urgent treatment, as when unaddressed, it can lead to angina, heart attack and even stroke as well.

Those already experiencing angina also need to visit the interventional cardiologist.

What are Interventional Cardiologist’s main areas of concern?

They perform minimally invasive procedures using majorly needles. Thus, they do not have to perform incisions on the patient.

What are the most common cardiac problems in Pakistan?

Heart diseases are the leading cause of death globally, and Pakistan is no exception. The challenges facing Pakistan pertaining to heart disease are not just due to lack of access to quality health infrastructure, but other variants also increase the disease burden of the country.

There is a lack of adequate policy with regards to curbing the risk factors. This is compounded by the dearth of quality data with regards to the prevalence of the disease in the public and the risk factors.

There is also the issue of demographics; the population living in rural areas with low literacy rates, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare has a greater risk of heart disease.

Moreover, the general lack of awareness about how to make healthy lifestyle choices also, therefore, increases the prevalence of risk factors like smoking.

According to research conducted by Barolia and Sayani, a significant portion of the adult population faces conditions that increase their risk factors for heart disease. The top 5 risk factors are:

Risk factors

% Prevalence in adult population

Hypertension

41.0

Tobacco

21.0

Obesity

21.0

High cholesterol

17.3

Diabetes

10.0
