In this part, we will focus on how innovative cardiologists utilize the most effective, noninvasive approaches to treatment. We will also discuss how an excellent cardiologist has direct access to the best resources.  

1) They Take an Innovative Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

From diagnosis to treatment methods, the best modern-day cardiologists take an innovative approach to treating their patient’s heart health needs. For example, Dr. Popat specializes in interventional cardiology utilizing a minimally invasive “radial first” procedure. This process requires only a small incision in the wrist of the patient in which a small, flexible catheter is inserted. There are many benefits to this noninvasive technique. After a “radial first” procedure, patients generally feel little pain or discomfort and can return to their normal activity level within a few days with their doctor’s approval. This is just one of several innovative procedures Dr. Popat utilizes to greatly improve patient outcomes.  

2) They Have Access to the Best Resources

In order for a cardiologist to be at their best, they must take advantage of the excellent resources that surround them. When treating a patient, Dr. Popat consults with a team of medical experts that specialize in cardiovascular disease. He also has access to groundbreaking equipment and utilizes the newest technologies to accurately diagnose heart ailments. 

 

For example, Dr. Popat and his highly experienced sonographers operate 2D and 3D cardiovascular ultrasound machines that provide exceptional image quality and help Dr. Popat accurately assess the function of a patient’s heart. Utilizing a variety of high-tech imaging processes and noninvasive procedures, Dr. Popat can assess everything from detailed footage of blood vessels to blood flow to heart damage or the cardiac function of a patient. With direct access to all of these excellent resources, Dr. Popat can precisely diagnose cardiac ailments and determine the best treatment methods for his patients.
