CATHERISATION LABORATORY
Cardiac
Catherisation Laboratory (Cath Lab) is a highly specialised
laboratory that deals with diagnostic & therapeutic procedures.
It
usually requires proper visualisation of the techniques performed
hence involves radiation for the same.
Most
commonly performed procedures in the Cath lab are coronary angiograms,
coronary angioplasties, coronary stents and other latest device
implantations.
Also
diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of rhythm disturbances of
heart can be exclusively tackled in the Cath Lab.
