🏥 Cath Lab (Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory)

Our state-of-the-art Cath Lab is the backbone of interventional cardiology at our hospital. It is equipped with advanced imaging technology and life-saving equipment to diagnose and treat a wide range of heart and vascular conditions—all with speed, precision, and minimal invasiveness.

Staffed by experienced interventional cardiologists, cardiac technologists, and trained nurses, our Cath Lab operates round-the-clock for both elective and emergency procedures.

🔍 What is a Cath Lab?

A Cath Lab (short for catheterization laboratory) is a specialized area where doctors perform minimally invasive, image-guided cardiac procedures, particularly related to blood flow, blocked arteries, and heart rhythm issues.

🫀 Procedures Performed in Our Cath Lab:

• Coronary Angiography (to detect blockages in heart arteries)

• Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting (to open blocked arteries)

• Peripheral Angiography / Angioplasty

• Pacemaker Implantation (temporary and permanent)

• Balloon Valvotomy

• Device Closures for congenital heart defects (ASD, VSD)

• Electrophysiology Studies (EPS) and Ablation (if applicable)

• Emergency Angioplasty for heart attack (Primary PCI)

✅ Cath Lab Features:

• Digital Flat Panel Technology for high-resolution imaging

• Radiation Safety & Low Contrast Use

• Real-time Monitoring Systems

• Sterile Environment with Infection Control Protocols

• 24x7 Availability for Cardiac Emergencies

• Connected to Cardiac ICU for immediate post-procedure care

❤️ Why It Matters:

Timely treatment in the Cath Lab can save lives—especially in cases of acute heart attack, blocked arteries, or sudden cardiac events. Minimally invasive procedures mean less pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays.
