Cardiac
Catheterization
- Is an invasive
test where dye is shot through a catheter that is threaded into the femoral
artery, in the groin, up in the outlet of the heart. This dye is shot into
the chambers as well as the coronary arteries. This gives the doctor an idea of
how narrow the arteries are and how well the heart muscle functions.
Cardiac Stress Test Exercise test with electrocardiogram monitoring
performed while the patient walks at an increasing pace and incline while on a
conventional treadmill.
Coronary Angiogram This is the actual injection on dye directly into
the coronary arteries to visualize narrowing or blockages. A balloon on
the end of the catheter can be inflated to flatten the narrowing.
Electro-cardiogram (ECG) This is the recording of activity pathways
and electrical impulses generated by the heart own "battery cells"
