Healing Hearts from Within. Cardiac catheterization is a diagnostic tool used by heart specialists (or cardiologists) to evaluate the heart. Cardiac catheterization is an important method for detecting a range of heart problems. Specifically, the test enables physicians to view coronary arteries, which supply the heart with blood and oxygen.
When a catheter is used to clear a narrowed or blocked artery, the procedure is called angioplasty or a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). When a catheter is used to widen a narrowed heart valve opening, the procedure is called valvuloplasty. The doctor will remove the catheters and the sheath.
