Overview Cardiac catheterization. Overview. Cardiac catheterization (kath-uh-tur-ih-ZAY-shun) is a procedure used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. During cardiac catheterization, a long thin tube called a catheter is inserted in an artery or vein in your groin, neck or arm and threaded through your blood vessels to your heart. Using this catheter, doctors can then do diagnostic tests as part of a cardiac catheterization.

Overview A coronary angiogram, which can help diagnose heart conditions, is the most common type of cardiac catheterization procedure. During a coronary angiogram, a type of dye that's visible by an X-ray machine is injected into the blood vessels of your heart. The X-ray machine rapidly takes a series of images (angiograms), offering a look at your blood vessels.

Cardiac Catheterization << Back to Cardiovascular Tests and Procedures. In cardiac catheterization (often called cardiac cath), your doctor puts a very small, flexible, hollow tube (called a catheter) into a blood vessel in the groin, arm, or neck. Then he or she threads it through the blood vessel into the aorta and into the heart.

Overview In a coronary angiogram, the catheter is usually first placed in the artery in your groin or wrist. Right heart catheterization. This procedure checks the pressure and blood flow in the right side of your heart. For this procedure, the catheter is inserted in the vein in your neck or groin. The catheter has special sensors in it to measure the pressure and blood flow in your heart. Heart biopsy. If your doctor is taking a sample of heart tissue (biopsy), the catheter will usually be placed in the vein in your neck.

- When the catheter reaches the right spot, your doctor will use it to do tests or treatments on your heart. For example, your doctor may perform a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as coronary angioplasty, and stenting. During the procedure, your doctor may put a special type of dye in the catheter. The dye will flow through your bloodstream to your heart. Then, your doctor will take x-ray pictures of your heart.

Overview Cardiac ablation is a procedure that can correct heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Ablation usually uses long, flexible tubes (catheters) inserted through a vein in your groin and threaded to your heart to correct structural problems in your heart that cause an arrhythmia.Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying tissue in your heart that triggers an abnormal heart rhythm.In some cases, ablation prevents abnormal electrical signals from traveling through your heart and, thus, stops the arrhythmia.Cardiac ablation is sometimes done through open-heart surgery, but it's often done using catheters, making the procedure less invasive and shortening recovery times.1  Why it's done.ardiac ablation is sometimes done through open-heart surgery, but it's often done using catheters, making the procedure less invasive and shortening recovery times. 1  Why it's done.

- What is Cardiac Catheterization? Cardiac Catheterization (Cath) is a specialized study of the heart during which a catheter, or thin hollow flexible tube, is inserted into the artery of the groin or arm. Under x-ray visualization, the tip of the catheter is guided to the heart.

Itai-itai disease Medical tests started in the 1940s and 1950s, searching for the cause of the disease. Initially, it was expected to be lead poisoning due to the lead mining upstream. Only in 1955 did Dr. Ogino and his colleagues suspect cadmium as the cause of the disease. Ogino coined the term itai-itai disease.

- Treatment Overview. Catheter ablation is a procedure used to selectively destroy areas of the heart that are causing a heart rhythm problem. Thin, flexible wires called catheters are inserted into a vein, typically in the groin or neck. They are threaded up through the vein and into the heart. There is an electrode at the tip of each wire.

Catheter ablation Catheter ablation. [edit on Wikidata] Catheter ablation is an minimally-invasive procedure used to remove or terminate a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the hearts of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

Cardiac Catheterization/Angioplasty Cardiac Catheterization. A cardiac catheterization, also known as a cath or angiogram, is a test that determines if there are blockages in your heart arteries (coronary arteries). Heart valve problems, overall heart function, and other congenital heart abnormalities are also appreciated on this test.

Right Heart Catheterization What is right heart catheterization? Right heart catheterization (also known as pulmonary artery catheterization or Swan-Ganz catheterization) is a diagnostic heart procedure used to evaluate blood flow and blood pressure. At Phoenix Heart Center, right heart catheterization may be performed through the radial artery on the wrist.

What are the risks of cardiac catheterization? A cardiac catheterization is a procedure done in the hospital that allows a cardiologist to check out the blood flow within your heart from inside the body. It involves inserting a catheter into the heart through an artery in the leg, arm, or neck. Although the procedure is invasive, risks are rare.

Heart Catheterization All these procedures are called heart-catheterization procedures. A right-heart cath usually involves inserting the cath through a vein in the neck or the groin. Once inserted a balloon is inflated at the end of the cath which floats, dragging the cath along with the blood flow. As it moves along the veins and arteries, blood pressure readings can be taken.
