Invasive Diagnostic Procedures

Cardiac Catheterization

Left and Right Heart Catheterizations are minimally invasive procedures that your Cardiologist can use to determine the presence of coronary artery atherosclerosis (blockage), assess abnormalities in the hearts muscle function (infarction or cardiomyopathy), measure the intracardiac pressures, and determine how well the heart valves function. Based on these results, treatment options will be discussed with you by your physician.
