CATH LAB
A cardiac catheterization lab, also known as a cardiac CATHLAB is a special hospital room
where doctors perform minimally invasive tests and procedures to diagnose and treat
cardiovascular disease. The procedures performed in a cardiac cathlab almost always involve
tiny, flexible tubes, called catheters, which can be used instead of surgery, to access the heart and
blood vessels. A cathlab has special imaging equipment used to see the arteries and check how
well blood is flowing to and from the heart. This information helps the care team to diagnose and
treat blockages and other problems in the arteries.
