Cardiac catheterization - what does this mean
Cardiac catheterization is a medical procedure in which a thin, flexible tube, known as a catheter, is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm, groin, or neck and threaded through the vessel to the heart. once in place, the catheter can be used to measure the pressure inside the heart, take samples of blood, or inject contrast dye to take x-rays of the heart and its vessels.
What happens during the disease - cardiac catheterization
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure used to diagnose and treat certain heart conditions. it involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel in the arm, groin, or neck. the catheter is then threaded through the blood vessel to the heart. once in place, the catheter can be used to measure pressure in the heart chambers, check for blockages in the coronary arteries, and inject dye so that x-rays can be taken of the heart. it can also be used to perform procedures such as angioplasty, stent placement, and valve repair.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Obtain a detailed medical history and physical examination.
- Conduct laboratory tests, such as blood tests and chest X-rays.
- Perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure the electrical activity of the heart.
- Perform an echocardiogram (ECHO) to measure the size and structure of the heart.
- Perform a stress test to measure the heart's response to physical activity.
- Perform cardiac catheterization to measure the pressure inside the heart.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treating the disease Cardiac Catheterization
- Evaluate the patient’s heart function and anatomy
- Identify any blockages or narrowing of the arteries
- Take X-rays and other imaging tests to get a better view of the heart
- Inject a contrast dye into the arteries to get a clearer view of the heart
- Insert a thin tube (catheter) into the artery to measure the pressure inside the heart chambers
- Insert a catheter into the artery to open any blockages or narrow arteries
- Insert a catheter into the artery to insert a stent to help keep the artery open
- Insert a catheter to deliver medication directly to the heart
- Remove the catheter when the procedure is complete
17 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Cardiac catheterization - Prevention
Cardiac catheterization can be prevented by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
