Key result
Review outlines cardiac catheterization indications, right and left heart techniques, complications, and hemodynamics.
Why the study?
The indications, techniques, and complications of cardiac catheterization require comprehensive discussion and summary to guide clinical practice.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Early review of cath techniques and risks; leaves open their refinement for current interventional use.
Summary The indications for cardiac catheterization are discussed. Currently available techniques of right and left heart catheterization are described, and the particular advantages and disadvantages of each technique are summarized. Complications of cardiac catheterization are discussed both in general and in relation to each individual procezure. The most commonly used methods of measuring cardiac output and Of detecting the presence and magnitude of intracardiac shunts are outlined.
