Cardiac catheterization is a procedure involving the insertion of a catheter into the heart for diagnostic and interventional purposes, commonly used for coronary artery disease and heart attacks. It includes techniques like coronary angiography, left and right heart catheterization, and can assess pressures, blood flow, and valve function. While it offers significant benefits for patients with serious heart conditions, it also carries risks such as stroke and contrast-induced nephropathy.
