Indications for investigational use

This technique has several goals:

Investigative techniques used with cardiac catheterization

A probe that is opaque to X-rays is inserted into the left or right chambers of the heart for the following reasons:

  • to measure intracardiac and intravascular blood pressures
  • to take tissue samples for biopsy
  • to inject various agents for measuring blood flow in the heart; also to detect and quantify the presence of an intracardiac shunt
  • to inject contrast agents in order to study the shape of the heart vessels and chambers and how they change as the heart beats
