The use of digital imaging ensures the capture of high-quality images while dramatically reducing the amount of radiation exposure.
During a cardiac catheterization procedure, a long, flexible tube is gently guided through your blood vessels toward your heart. Once it is in place, X-rays and other tests are performed to help your physician evaluate how well your heart is working. New, state-of-the-art digital technology provides even higher quality images and advanced treatment for emergency angioplasties and diagnosis of a variety of cardiac-related problems.
Cardiac catheterizations at PMC are performed by board certified cardiologists, who are assisted by skilled technical and nursing personnel.
