title: Importance of case mix during training in interventional cardiology.
abstract: Adequate case mix is an important component of a physician's training in interventional cardiology. Physicians who seek competence in this area should have experience with patients who undergo interventional procedures for a variety of indications using a variety of techniques in a variety of situations. Future guidelines for physician training in interventional cardiology should address the issue of case mix.
