This video is an introduction to the cardiac catheterization lab. Cardiac cath is performed in patients who are suspected of having coronary artery disease, or blockage in the heart, as well as people with valvular heart disease. This allows doctors to look at the heart vessels using xray dye. Video courtesy of eMedTV.com
