The Cath Lab is a state-of-the-art cardiac diagnostic and interventional unit designed to evaluate and treat cardiovascular diseases using minimally invasive catheter-based techniques. It plays a pivotal role in the management of coronary artery disease, structural heart disorders, and other complex cardiac conditions, providing rapid, accurate, and effective treatment.

The laboratory integrates advanced imaging technology, highly trained specialists, and rigorous safety protocols to deliver comprehensive cardiac care for both emergency and elective patients.

Scope of Services

The Cath Lab offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including:

• Coronary Angiography: Imaging of coronary arteries to detect blockages or abnormalities.
• Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI): Balloon angioplasty, stent placement, and treatment of coronary artery disease.
• Electrophysiology Studies: Evaluation and management of cardiac arrhythmias, including ablation procedures.
• Structural Heart Interventions: Procedures for valve repair/replacement, septal defect closure, and other structural abnormalities.
• Peripheral Angiography & Interventions: Imaging and treatment of peripheral vascular diseases.

Key Objectives:

• Provide accurate diagnosis and immediate intervention for cardiac conditions.
• Minimize the need for open-heart surgery where possible.
• Improve patient safety, recovery time, and long-term outcomes.
• Enable emergency cardiac care for acute myocardial infarctions and unstable angina.

Infrastructure & Technology

• The Cath Lab is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure precision, safety, and efficiency:
• Digital Cardiac Imaging Systems: High-resolution fluoroscopy, 3D imaging, and real-time monitoring.
• Hemodynamic Monitoring: Continuous measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, and intracardiac pressures.
• Advanced Catheterization Equipment: Guidewires, balloons, stents, and devices for minimally invasive interventions.
• Emergency Support Systems: Defibrillators, crash carts, and rapid response protocols.
• Sterile & Controlled Environment: Laminar airflow, infection control measures, and radiation safety systems.
