Cardiac Catheterization in San Antonio, TX
A minimally invasive procedure that helps diagnose and treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions with precision and confidence.
Understanding Cardiac Catheterization
Cardiac catheterization is a specialized procedure used to evaluate the health of your heart and blood vessels. During the procedure, a thin, flexible catheter is carefully guided through a blood vessel to the heart, allowing your cardiologist to assess circulation, measure pressures, and identify blockages or other abnormalities.
At Cardiovascular Associates of San Antonio, cardiac catheterization is performed when non-invasive testing suggests that a closer evaluation of your heart is needed or when treatment may be performed during the same procedure.
