Left heart catheterization
Definition
Left heart catheterization is the passage of a thin flexible tube (catheter) into the left side of the heart to diagnose or treat certain heart problems.

Heart catheterization can:
Allow X-ray pictures (angiograms) outlining the heart chambers or coronary arteries to be taken with use of a special dye.
Heart catheterization for congenital heart defects
Exam Overview ...
Left heart catheterization is most commonly used to assess coronary artery anatomy; it is also useful for assessing aortic BP and systemic vascular resistance, aortic and mitral valve function, and left ventricular (LV) pressure and function.
Right heart catheterization. This procedure measures the pressure in your pulmonary arteries. It also shows how well your heart is pumping blood to the rest of your body.
What is heart catheterization?
It is a procedure that delineates the coronary arteries by taking x-ray pictures while a contrast agent is placed within the coronary arteries.

Cardiologists performed a heart catheterization, which revealed two small holes, a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), but more concerning than that was their finding that Aidan had pulmonary hypertension.
Electrophysiology study (EPS): A special heart catheterization that evaluates your heart's electrical system. Catheters are inserted into your heart to record the electrical activity.
