Heart Catheterization Lab

A Heart Catheterization Lab, often called a cath lab, is a specialized medical facility where doctors perform minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat heart conditions. Using thin, flexible tubes called catheters inserted through blood vessels, they can visualize the heart's blood flow, assess blockages, and perform treatments like stent placement or angioplasty. The process provides detailed information about heart function and helps in making precise treatment decisions, often improving patient outcomes with less risk and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
