Pulmonary

Right Heart Catheterization

Also known as pulmonary artery catheterization, this diagnostic approach evaluates both the heart’s effectiveness at pumping and the pressure in the heart and the lungs. This procedure involves a long, thin tube, called a catheter, that is threaded to the right side of the heart and into the pulmonary artery. Throughout this process, the doctor will measure the pressure inside the artery, along with other measurements. This procedure can be helpful in diagnosing conditions such as pulmonary arterial hypertension.
