The Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Henry Medical Center offers the latest technology for monitoring and diagnosing the condition of the heart and its surrounding vascular network. Our dedicated team of cardiologists and experienced healthcare professionals utilize highly responsive angiographic equipment to determine the heart's pumping ability and blood flow through its adjoining vessels. An advanced hemodynamic monitoring system is used to record the electrocardiogram, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. This information enables physicians to access accurate records of each patient’s medical history and current diagnosis.

The average heart catheterization procedure is relatively painless and involves inserting a thin plastic tube (or catheter) into a blood vessel in the arm or leg, leading to the heart and its blood vessels. Using specialized x-ray technology, with significantly less radiation than conventional equipment, your cardiologist examines your heart and coronary vessels. The examination results will enable your physician to decide which medical treatment plan is appropriate for you. To ensure your comfort, you will be assisted by a caring staff of professionals throughout the procedure.

In addition to heart catheterization, the Lab also offers extended services including the implantation of automatic internal defibrillators & pacemakers, electrophysiology diagnostic procedures and peripheral vascular intervention.

Henry Medical Center recognizes the needs of our growing community. Our goal is to offer the very best services with the convenience of remaining close to home.
