Cardiac cath. evaluates the coronary arteries to look for plaque or blockages in these arteries. Patients commonly need this procedure after a heart attack, or if you have angina- chest pain from the heat that is refractory to medical therapy. THe heart muscle and heart valves are also evaluated during this procedure. Thanks for this informative video about cardiac catherization. It makes me feel much more confident in the catherization procedure. wineman85 4.8 years ago I found this video very helpful. You performed a catheterization on my brother in-law, and this was helpful in explaining to his family what the procedure was. health2u 4.8 years ago
