Can someone please explain the difference between Invasive and Inerventional Cardiology. I know neither are surgery. Thanks

do a search, and you'll find more info than you'll want.
 
'Invasive' means you can do heart catheterizations for diagnostic purposes (squirt dye to look at the coronaries, get an LV-gram, etc.), 'interventional' means you can do heart catheterizations for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (like stenting).
