The cath lab can save lives — but it’s not the first step in diagnosing heart disease. In this episode of Cardio Conversations with Jen and Ankit, we walk through how doctors decide when it’s time to move from non-invasive tests to the cath lab. From the first complaints of chest pain to the advanced tools we use inside the lab, we explain the pathway that guides patients safely and effectively.
Dr. Ankitkumar Patel and Jennifer Abitabilo, APN break down the decision-making process behind ischemic heart disease. You’ll hear how ECGs, stress tests, CT angiography, and invasive physiology work together to create a complete picture of whether a stent or bypass is truly needed. We’ll also discuss why not every blockage requires an intervention, and how physiology testing has transformed modern cardiology.
This episode gives you a front-row seat to the way cardiologists think: step by step, evidence-based, and always balancing risk and benefit. Whether you’re a patient wondering about your own chest pain workup or a clinician wanting a clear framework to explain to others, this episode will make the cath lab less intimidating and more understandable.
