Cardiac catheterization is performed to find out if you have disease of the heart muscle, valves or coronary (heart) arteries.
• During the procedure, the pressure and blood flow in your heart can be measured.
• Coronary angiography is done during cardiac catheterization. A contrast dye visible in X-rays is injected through the catheter. X-ray images show the dye as it flows through the heart arteries. This shows where arteries are blocked.
• The chances that problems will develop during cardiac cath are low.
