Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory

A Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, often called a cath lab, is a specialized medical area in hospitals where doctors can diagnose and treat heart conditions. During a procedure, a thin tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart. This allows doctors to see detailed images of the heart and blood vessels, assess conditions like blockages, and perform interventions such as angioplasty or stent placement. The lab is equipped with advanced imaging technologies and is staffed by a team of trained professionals, ensuring patient safety and effective care for heart-related issues.
