interventional cardiology department

NOT "hemodynamics", please! :) In English, "hemodynamics" refers solely to blood flow around the body and the measurement thereof—this is a notorious false friend in medical translation.

You could even go with "catheterization laboratory" or "catheterization suite", but bear in mind that a "setor de hemodinâmica" in a large hospital will often have several suites/labs.

And from the Libro rojo, but it applies equally well to the PT-EN pair:

cardiac catheterization

cardiac catheterization (cardiac cath). En relación con lo comentado en → catheterization, en español no decimos ‘cateterización cardíaca’, sino cateterismo cardíaco, coronariografía o incluso hemodinámica, según el contexto. ● diagnostic cardiac catheterization (hemodinámica diagnóstica).

cath lab (laboratorio de hemodinámica, sala de hemodinámica)
