| | Prior to the cardiac catheterization procedure, it is important to relay information to the physician or nurse regarding allergies to shellfish (such as shrimp or scallops) which contain iodine, iodine itself, or the dyes that are commonly used in other diagnostic tests. | | | To understand how a cardiac catheterization is able to diagnose and manage heart disease, the basic workings of the heart muscle must also be understood. | | | Cardiac catheterization (also called heart catheterization) is a diagnostic procedure which does a comprehensive examination of how the heart and its blood vessels function. |

| | A sedative will be given to help you relax. | | | The doctor may prescribe medications after the procedure or adjust the medications you were taking before the heart cath. | | | Heart catheterization allows the cardiologist to see the operation of the heart vales and monitor the flow of blood through the heart. |

| | Patients requiring intermittent catheterization should be well trained in the technique by a qualified health care professional. | | | If a patient wishes to perform intermittent catheterization himself, training in the technique by a qualified health care professional is required. | | | Patients who practice intermittent catheterization can reduce their risks for UTI by using antiseptic techniques for insertion and catheter care. |

| | Guideline for Prevention of Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections |
| | The "no-touch" method of intermittent catheterization advocated by Guttmann (21) is generally reserved for patients hospitalized during the acute phase of their spinal cord injury, while the clean, nonsterile method of Lapides (22) is frequently used by ambulatory patients for whom the practice of aseptic catheter insertion is difficult to maintain. | | | Generally, urinary catheterization is indicated 1) to relieve urinary tract obstruction, 2) to permit urinary drainage in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction and urinary retention, 3) to aid in urologic surgery or other surgery on contiguous structures, and 4) to obtain accurate measurements of urinary output in critically ill patients. | | | For certain types of patients with bladder-emptying dysfunction, such as those with spinal cord injuries or children with meningomyelocele, a third alternative, intermittent catheterization, is commonly employed. |

| | Cardiac Catheterization (Heart Catheter, Cath) |
| | Cardiac catheterization is usually done after other tests have been performed to find out why a patient is experiencing chest pain or other possible signs of a heart problem. | | | The first reason is to gain critical information about the heart and major arteries to determine whether the patient needs surgery (e.g., coronary artery bypass surgery) and is a good candidate for surgery, as well as to clearly see the source of the problem in the patient. | | | The other basic reason why a cardiac catheterization would be done is to help make a diagnosis. |

| | Cardiac Catheterization |
| | The primary purpose of cardiac catheterization (cardiac cath) is to determine whether you have coronary artery disease (CAD), and if so, whether surgery or another type of procedure is needed to open the blocked blood vessels. | | | This test is performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory ("cath lab") by a cardiologist. | | | Cardiac catheterization may be done to evaluate congenital heart defects in infants and children. |

| | Cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure that allows doctors to study the vessels of the heart. | | | The major disadvantage of cardiac catheterization is that it is an invasive procedure and it can be dangerous. | | | Cardiac catheterization, although possibly dangerous, is extremely useful in determining a large number of possible cardiac problems. |
