Overview

Cardiac Catheterization Overview

Advanced Heart Diagnosis & Minimally Invasive Treatment

Cardiac Catheterization (Cardiac Cath) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat heart conditions. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through a blood vessel and guided to the heart to evaluate its structure, function, and blood flow.

At ONUS Robotic Hospitals, we perform cardiac catheterization using advanced imaging and expert cardiology care to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is cardiac catheterization?

It is a procedure where a catheter is inserted into blood vessels to examine and treat heart conditions.

2. When is cardiac catheterization recommended?

Doctors may advise it for:
β†’ Chest pain (angina)
β†’ Suspected coronary artery disease
β†’ Heart attack (emergency)
β†’ Heart valve problems
β†’ Heart failure
β†’ Congenital heart defects
β†’ Unexplained breathlessness or palpitations

3. What conditions can it detect?

β†’ Blocked or narrowed coronary arteries
β†’ Heart valve disorders
β†’ Heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy)
β†’ Congenital heart defects
β†’ Blood flow abnormalities
β†’ Electrical issues (arrhythmias)

4. What are the types of cardiac catheterization?

β†’ Right heart catheterization
β†’ Left heart catheterization
β†’ Coronary angiography
β†’ Electrophysiology study (EPS)
β†’ Balloon angioplasty
β†’ Valve assessment and biopsy

5. How is the procedure performed?

β†’ Preparation and local anesthesia
β†’ Catheter insertion through wrist/groin
β†’ Guided movement using imaging
β†’ Contrast dye injection for clear images
β†’ Diagnosis and treatment (if needed)
β†’ Catheter removal and recovery

6. Is cardiac catheterization painful?

No. It is usually performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation, so discomfort is minimal.

7. How long does recovery take?

β†’ Most patients recover within a few hours
β†’ Same-day discharge in many cases
β†’ Return to normal activity in 1–2 days

8. How should you prepare for the procedure?
