During heart catheterization - what does this mean
During heart catheterization, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted through a vein or artery in the arm, groin, or neck and threaded to the heart. once in place, the catheter can be used to measure pressures in the heart, inject dye to visualize the heart's blood vessels, or deliver medications or other treatments.
What happens during the disease - during heart catheterization
The pathogenesis of a heart catheterization is a process of inserting a thin tube (catheter) through a vein or artery in the arm or leg and threading it through the blood vessels to the heart. the catheter is then used to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease, blockages, or heart valve problems. the procedure can also be used to measure pressures and oxygen levels in the heart and to inject dye into the coronary arteries to identify any blockages or narrowing of the vessels.
During heart catheterization - Prevention
Preventing complications during heart catheterization involves taking steps to reduce the risk of infection, bleeding, and other potential issues. this includes proper pre-procedure preparation, such as fasting and avoiding certain medications, as well as ensuring the catheterization is performed by a qualified and experienced medical team. additionally, using sterile equipment and taking care to avoid trauma to the heart and other areas of the body can help reduce the risk of complications.
