Interventional Cardiology

Advanced Cardiac Catheterization Labs

Many interventional cardiology procedures at Broward Health are performed in specialized cardiac catheterization laboratories, commonly called cath labs. These procedure rooms are equipped with advanced imaging technology that allows physicians to view the heart and blood vessels in real time.

This technology helps physicians identify blocked or narrowed blood vessels and perform treatments that improve circulation and heart function. Broward Health continues to expand access to advanced cardiovascular care across Broward County, including new cardiac catheterization labs and interventional suites designed to support complex heart procedures.

Common Interventional Cardiology Procedures

Interventional cardiologists perform a variety of procedures to diagnose and treat heart disease and circulation problems. These treatments help restore blood flow, improve heart function and reduce the risk of complications such as heart attack or stroke.

Common procedures include:

• Coronary angiography to examine the arteries that supply blood to the heart
• Heart catheterization to diagnose heart and vascular conditions
• Angioplasty and stent placement to open narrowed or blocked arteries
• MitraClip procedures to repair the mitral valve without open-heart surgery
• WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure to help reduce stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation
• Catheter ablation procedures used to treat certain abnormal heart rhythms

These minimally invasive treatments allow many patients to receive effective care while avoiding more complex surgical procedures.

Electrophysiology & Heart Rhythm Care

Broward Health offers advanced electrophysiology services for patients with abnormal heart rhythms, also called arrhythmias. Electrophysiology focuses on the electrical signals that control the heartbeat and helps physicians diagnose and treat conditions such as atrial fibrillation and other irregular heart rhythms.

Using specialized technology in the cath lab, physicians can perform electrophysiology studies, catheter ablation procedures and other treatments that help restore a more normal heart rhythm. Expanded electrophysiology services help improve access to advanced heart rhythm care for patients across Broward County.

Common electrophysiology procedures include:

• Electrophysiology studies to evaluate irregular heart rhythms
• Catheter ablation procedures
• Pacemaker implantation
• Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
