Catheterization Lab (Cath-Lab)
The Cardiac Catheterization Lab or “Cath Lab” is a specialized unit that actually contains two separate catheterization rooms fully equipped with the best tools. The unit provides several services for patients with a variety of heart conditions and events. These include heart tests such as angiograms used to diagnose heart problems, and treatments like angioplasty that opens up arteries during a heart attack – or to prevent one from happening in the first place. The Cath Lab is a regional unit with a team of cardiologists and other cardiac professionals, providing 24/7 emergency care.
