Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, typically in the arm or groin, and guided to the heart. It allows doctors to assess the heart's function, measure pressure in the heart chambers, check for blockages in the coronary arteries, and perform treatments like angioplasty or stenting if necessary. It's commonly used to evaluate chest pain, heart disease, or other cardiovascular issues, offering both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
