Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases.Andreas Gruentzig is considered the father of interventional cardiology after the development of angioplasty by interventional radiologist Charles Dotter.A large number of procedures can be performed on the heart by catheterization.This most commonly involves the insertion of a sheath into the femoral artery (but, in practice, any large peripheral artery or vein) and cannulating the heart under X-ray visualization (most commonly fluoroscopy). large number of procedures can be performed on the heart by catheterization.

11â. Fat-Soluble Vitamins. Small amounts of vitamins are required in the diet to promote growth, reproduction, and health. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are called the fat-soluble vitamins, because they are soluble in organic solvents and are absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats.
Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day, some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others. Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins â A, D, E, and K â dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins â C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) â need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can't store these vitamins.
