Cath Lab Services at Advanced International Hospital
At Advanced International Hospital, our Cath Lab offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services, including:
- Coronary Angiography: This is a diagnostic test that uses X-ray imaging to examine the blood vessels of the heart. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin and guided to the heart. Contrast dye is then injected through the catheter, allowing the physician to see any blockages or other abnormalities in the blood vessels.
- Angioplasty: This is a therapeutic procedure that is performed during a coronary angiogram. A small balloon is inserted into the blocked or narrowed artery and inflated, which helps to widen the artery and improve blood flow to the heart.
- Stenting: This is a therapeutic procedure that is often performed during an angioplasty. A stent is a small mesh tube that is inserted into the artery to help keep it open and improve blood flow to the heart.
- Electrophysiology (EP) Study: This is a diagnostic test that is used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart. A catheter is inserted into a vein in the groin or neck and guided to the heart. Electrical signals are then measured and mapped to diagnose heart rhythm disorders.
- Cardioversion: This is a therapeutic procedure that is used to restore the heart’s normal rhythm. A controlled electrical shock is delivered to the heart to correct an irregular heartbeat.
