Basics of a Heart Catheterization?
A cardiac catheterization is performed for many different reasons. This is an excellent diagnostic tool as well as the opportunity for an interventional cardiac procedure if necessary. Once a tube is inserted from a location in the groin, neck, or arm it is advanced to the heart where the cardiologist I able to visualize the heart and its vessels as it is functioning. If a problem is located, the physician has the chance to correct or remove the issue with a few different techniques. Occasionally, the test prompts cardiac surgery.
What impact could a cardiac catheterization have on heart rate?
Complications that may occur during the procedure include cardiac arrhythmias (an irregular heart beat).
What are normal results from a cardiac catheterization?
Normal findings from a cardiac catheterization will indicate no abnormalities of heart chamber size or configuration, wall motion or thickness, the direction of blood flow, or motion of the valves.

Cardiac Catheterization
Which diagnostic introduces a contrast medium to determine how well the heart is working?
