During heart catheterization - what does this mean
Heart catheterization is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm, groin, or neck and threaded to the heart. during the procedure, dye is injected through the catheter so that the blood vessels of the heart can be seen on an x-ray. this allows the doctor to diagnose and treat any blockages or other problems with the heart.
What happens during the disease - during heart catheterization
The pathogenesis of a heart catheterization involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube into the heart through an artery in the arm or leg. this procedure allows the doctor to measure the pressure inside the heart and to take samples of the blood. it also allows the doctor to look for any blockages in the coronary arteries, which can lead to a heart attack or other heart-related complications.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treating the Disease During Heart Catheterization
- Administering anesthesia to the patient
