2. Cardiac catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_catheterization

   Cardiac catheterization (heart cath) is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart.This is done both for diagnostic and interventional purposes. A common example of cardiac catheterization is coronary catheterization that involves catheterization of the coronary arteries for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarctions ("heart attacks").

3. Catheterization laboratory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheterization_laboratory

   Cardiac catheterization is a general term for a group of procedures that are performed in the cath lab, such as coronary angiography. Once a catheter is in place, it can be used to perform a number of procedures including angioplasty , PCI ( percutaneous coronary intervention ) angiography, transcatheter aortic valve replacement , balloon ...

4. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.

5. Electrophysiology study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology_study

   Doctors conduct an electrophysiology study in the hospital's cardiac catheterization laboratory. The next step is pacing the heart, this means he/she will speed up or slow down the heart by placing the electrode at certain points along the conductive pathways of the heart and control the depolarization rate of the heart. The doctor will pace ...

6. Interventional cardiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interventional_cardiology

   Many procedures can be performed on the heart by catheterization. [2] This most commonly involves the insertion of a sheath into the femoral artery (but, in practice, any large peripheral artery or vein) and cannulating the heart under X-ray visualization (most commonly fluoroscopy).

9. Door-to-balloon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-to-balloon

   Door-to-balloon is a time measurement in emergency cardiac care (ECC), specifically in the treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (or STEMI). The interval starts with the patient's arrival in the emergency department, and ends when a catheter guidewire crosses the culprit lesion in the cardiac cath lab.
