Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab)
The Cath Lab at Hrudayalaya Hospital is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with advanced imaging and interventional technology to diagnose and treat a wide range of heart and vascular conditions. Staffed by experienced cardiologists, nurses, and technicians, it operates round the clock to handle both planned and emergency cardiac procedures with precision and safety.
How Procedures Are Performed in the Cath Lab
Patients are prepared and connected to monitoring systems for heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.
A small catheter is inserted through the radial (wrist) or femoral (groin) artery under local anesthesia.
Contrast dye is injected, and advanced imaging captures detailed views of the heart and blood vessels.
Based on findings, interventional procedures like angioplasty, stenting, or device implantation may be performed.
After the procedure, patients are closely monitored in the recovery or ICU unit.
