AB  - The  field  of  interventional  cardiology  has  been  driven  by  technical  innovation.  In  a  remarkable  progression  of  needs  identification,  invention,  testing,  and  refinement,  innovators  have  developed  nonsurgical  techniques  to  see  into  the  heart,  diagnose  a  wide  array  of  conditions,  and  deliver  potent  therapies.  The  pathways  to  innovation  were  not  always  simple  or  straightforward.  Many  of  these  inventors  persevered  despite  being  told  by  peers  that  what  they  were  trying  to  do  was  infeasible  and  foolhardy.  Some  of  most  momentous  contributions  came  from  innovators  who  recognized  the  significance  of  a  serendipitous  event,  applied  newly  available  technologies  to  a  longstanding  clinical  need,  maximized  the  value  of  a  previous  discovery  by  casting  it  in  a  different  light,  or  refined  nascent  tools  and  techniques  to  make  them  safer  and  more  effective.  Collectively,  the  efforts  of  these  creative,  determined  individuals  laid  the  foundations  of  a  dynamic  field  that  integrates  diagnostics  with  the  minimally  invasive  treatment  of  ischemic  heart  disease  and  other  cardiac  conditions.
