Cath Labs
New, High-Tech Catheterization LabA new, state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab at the Saint Elizabeth Heart
Center offers patients faster procedure times and superior image quality. The
latest technology produces outstanding images, giving physicians unprecedented
views of vessels, heart chambers and valves. Additionally, it reduces the amount
of radiation exposure to patients and staff.
Cardiac catheterization is a diagnostic procedure that is simply a special x-ray test used to look at the arteries and chambers of the heart. The procedure helps doctors diagnose heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, defective heart valves, or congenital heart defects. It also provides valuable information about the heart's pumping function. The procedure's results provide insight and immediate treatment options for critically ill cardiac patients.
