Cardiac Catheterization

Dr. RR Mantri, a distinguished cardiologist in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, excels in the intricate procedure of Cardiac Catheterization. This medical intervention serves a dual purpose, both for diagnosis and treatment of various heart conditions, showcasing Dr. Mantri's commitment to advanced cardiovascular care.

Cardiac catheterization can be used to measure blood pressure within the heart and its chambers, evaluate the function of the heart valves, assess the amount of blood flow to the heart muscle, and obtain tissue samples (biopsies) for analysis. It can also be used to perform other procedures, such as angioplasty or stent placement to treat blockages in the coronary arteries.

Cardiac catheterization can be used to diagnose a variety of heart conditions, including blockages in the coronary arteries, congenital heart defects, and abnormalities of the heart's chambers or valves. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. Patients are usually able to leave the hospital within a day or two after the procedure and can resume their normal activities within a few days. Cardiac catheterization is generally considered a safe and effective diagnostic tool for evaluating the health of the heart and its blood vessels.
