Cardiac Catheterization

     A cardiac catheterization is a non surgical test your doctor will perform by inserting a very narrow, soft, flexible plastic tube called a catheter, through a blood vessel and into your heart. The catheter will allow x-ray pictures of your heart to be taken to show how well your heart is working.  For more information, please call the catheterization lab at 770-751-2782.
