Cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment by catheterization
Hemodynamics is the area of cardiology that studies how the heart and blood vessels function through catheter-based procedures — access through an artery, usually in the wrist or the groin. It allows the diagnosis, and in many cases the treatment, of different cardiovascular conditions in the same procedure.

Coronary angioplasty
A procedure to clear a blocked coronary artery and restore blood flow to the heart.

Implantation of a small device that helps keep a treated artery open.
Invasive diagnostic studies
Other catheter-based studies to evaluate cardiovascular function in detail.
Interventional treatment of cardiovascular disease
Therapeutic management of various cardiovascular conditions using hemodynamics techniques.
