Book AppointmentAbout Cath Lab
Heart diseases require precise diagnosis and timely treatment. At Nano Hospitals, the Cath Lab is designed to provide advanced, minimally invasive cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures with high accuracy and safety.
Equipped with modern imaging technology, the Cath Lab plays a crucial role in detecting blockages, assessing heart function, and performing life-saving cardiac interventions.
Overview
A Cath Lab (Catheterization Laboratory) is a specialized hospital unit where heart and blood vessel conditions are diagnosed and treated using thin, flexible tubes called catheters. These catheters are inserted through a blood vessel in the wrist or groin and guided to the heart under real-time imaging.
Cath Lab procedures help evaluate coronary artery blockages, heart valve conditions, congenital heart defects, and heart rhythm disorders. Most procedures are minimally invasive, allowing faster recovery and reduced hospital stay

Cataracts are a natural part of aging, but they need not mean permanent vision loss. With timely diagnosis and surgery, patients can enjoy clear vision and an active lifestyle. Cataract surgery is safe, effective, and one of the most rewarding medical procedures worldwide.
