What is the difference between
* Invasive/ Non-Interventional Cardiology
* Invasive/ Interventional Cardiology

I know Invasive/ Interventional Cardiology and Non-Invasive Cardiology ----Nuclear, echo, stress tests and TEE’s

But what is the difference between Non-Interventional Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology in Invasive side?

Probably pacemaker stuff like foci ablation and pacemaker implants.

No, pacemakers/ablations would be Electrophysiology.

Invasive Cardiology means cath.

Non-interventional means the cath that is done is for diagnostic purposes.

Interventional, then, means that you can both do diagnostic AND therapeutic caths, most notably stents.
