Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Angiography
Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure that provides valuable information about your heart’s performance. Here’s what the procedure can involve:
- Coronary Angiography: By injecting a contrast dye through a catheter, we can take detailed X-rays to identify any narrowed or blocked coronary arteries.
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): If necessary, procedures such as angioplasty with stenting can be performed to open blocked segments of a coronary artery.
- Heart Chamber Pressure Measurement: The procedure allows us to check the pressure in the four chambers of your heart, ensuring they are functioning correctly.
- Oxygen Content Analysis: Blood samples are taken from the heart chambers to measure their oxygen content, providing insight into your heart’s efficiency.
- Pumping Function Evaluation: We assess the ability of your heart’s pumping chambers to contract effectively.
- Valve and Chamber Examination: The procedure also helps in detecting any defects in the heart’s valves or chambers.
