Diagnostic Catheterization

A Reliable Diagnostic Method for Your Heart Health

A Life Health Group Diagnostic Catheterization Unit is an essential procedure for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. This method allows the evaluation of heart vessels, the internal structures of the vessels, and heart functions. With our experienced team, we aim to provide healthcare services at the highest standards.

What is Diagnostic Catheterization?
Diagnostic catheterization is a procedure performed for diagnostic purposes by inserting a thin catheter (tube) into the vessels and heart. This process provides detailed information about heart functions, helping healthcare professionals make an accurate diagnosis.

Prioritize Your Heart Health!
A Life Health Group Diagnostic Catheterization is your reliable address for heart health.

Diagnostic catheterization is used to diagnose the following conditions:

• Coronary Artery Disease: To check for blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying the heart.
• Heart Valve Diseases: To evaluate the structure and function of the valves.
• Congenital Heart Diseases: To detect congenital heart defects, especially in children.
• Heart Failure: To measure the heart’s pumping capacity.
• Pulmonary Hypertension: To assess the pressure in the lung arteries.

• Preparation: The patient's medical history is evaluated and necessary tests are performed before the procedure. The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia.
• Catheter Placement: A thin catheter is inserted, typically through the groin, wrist, or neck vessels, and guided toward the heart.
• Diagnostic Imaging: Contrast material is administered through the catheter, and the heart and vessels are visualized using an X-ray device (fluoroscopy).
• Data Collection: Procedures such as blood pressure measurement, blood sampling, and oxygen level assessment may also be performed.

• The procedure usually lasts 30–60 minutes.
• After the procedure, the patient is observed for several hours.
• Mild pain, bruising, or tenderness may occur at the wrist or groin area.

As with any medical procedure, diagnostic catheterization carries some risks. However, these risks are very low when performed by an experienced team:

• Bleeding or infection
• Damage to blood vessels
• Allergic reaction (to contrast material)
• Heart rhythm disturbances
• In very rare cases, heart attack or stroke
