Diagnostic
cardiac catheterization
In

catheterization, which involves passing a thin flexible tube into the
right or left side of the heart, usually from the groin or the arm.
This diagnostic test checks blood flow in the coronary arteries as
well as blood flow and blood pressure in the chambers of the heart.

team of experienced cardiac nurses and specialists will work with you
to create an individualized and closely-monitored exercise plan.
Using state-of-the-art cardiovascular exercise equipment, you will be
