catheterization laboratories

Catheterization laboratories, or cath labs, are specialized medical facilities where doctors perform minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel conditions. Using thin, flexible tubes called catheters inserted through blood vessels, physicians can examine the heart, open clogged arteries, or repair heart defects without large surgery. These procedures typically require advanced imaging equipment to guide precise actions inside the body. Cath labs enable faster recovery times, reduced risks, and accurate treatment, playing a vital role in managing cardiovascular health efficiently and effectively.
