Abstract

Cardiac catheterization is a general term for a group of procedures that are performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Coronary angiography and right heart catheterization are the main diagnostic procedures and are going to be covered in detail in the present chapter. Right heart catheterization is used for the management of critically ill patients, for the evaluation of various underlying cardiac diseases and in an elective setting, is the cornerstone for the diagnosis and follow up of pulmonary artery hypertension.
