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 a shorter hospital stay.
