Question

Difference between interventional cardiologist and electrophysiologist

Answer 1

An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with one to two years of additional education and training in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease as well as congenital (present at birth) and structural heart conditions through catheter-based procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting.

Electrophysiologists, on the other hand, dedicate themselves to the study of the heart’s electrical system, and learn specifically how to diagnose and treat heart arrhythmias.
