Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac Catheterization is a test that shows if there are problems within your heart or if any of the arteries that supply your heart with blood are blocked.

In this test, a thin tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery and guided to the heart. A dye is injected through the catheter. The x-rays show where any problems may be.

Cardiac catheterization can show:

How well the heart is pumping
If any of the coronary arteries are blocked
If the heart valves are working properly
If you were born with a heart defect
If the heart has been damaged by disease
