Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac Catheterization

Accurate Diagnosis. Advanced Cardiac Insight.

Cardiac Catheterization is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows cardiologists to examine how well the heart is functioning. It helps detect blockages, measure pressures inside the heart chambers, and assess the performance of the heart valves and muscle.

At Apex Hospital, Moradabad, Dr. Nitin Agrawal, a Gold Medalist and Chief Interventional Cardiologist from KGMU, Lucknow, performs cardiac catheterization with advanced imaging systems, ensuring accurate diagnosis and safe patient care. With over 15 years of experience and 10,000+ successful procedures, he brings excellence and precision to every cardiac evaluation.

This test is often recommended when patients experience symptoms such as:

It helps identify heart blockages, valve defects, congenital heart abnormalities, and chamber pressure changes, guiding further treatment like angioplasty or surgery.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• The procedure is done under local anesthesia and mild sedation.
• A thin, flexible catheter is inserted through a small artery or vein in the wrist (radial) or groin (femoral).
• The catheter is gently guided to the heart under X-ray visualization.
• Contrast dye is injected to take detailed images of the heart and blood vessels.
• Depending on findings, additional procedures like angiography or angioplasty may be performed during the same session.

The entire process typically takes 30–45 minutes, and patients can often go home the same day.
