The 12 pages that link to Cardiac catheterization, each with the reason it gives.

• EchocardiographyCompared with: It can directly measure intracardiac pressures when ultrasound estimates are insufficient.

• Congenital heart defectRelated: It can clarify pressures and close selected defects without open surgery.

• HeartRelated: It can measure pressures and assess coronary arteries directly.

• Cardiac magnetic resonance imagingCompared with: Catheterization directly measures pressures and can intervene, unlike noninvasive CMR.

• Ventricular septal defectRelated: It can clarify pulmonary pressures when noninvasive tests are insufficient.

• CardiologyRelated: It enables direct pressure measurements and procedures such as coronary intervention.

• Restrictive cardiomyopathyRelated: Pressure measurements can confirm elevated filling pressures and characterize their pattern.

• Tetralogy of FallotRelated: It can clarify anatomy and pressures when noninvasive tests are insufficient.

• Hypoplastic left heart syndromeRelated: It can assess circulation and support interventions between surgical stages.

• Tricuspid atresiaRelated: It can clarify pulmonary artery anatomy and pressures when planning palliation.

• CatheterBroader topic: It uses vascular catheters to reach heart chambers and coronary arteries.

• Transposition of the Great VesselsRelated: It can measure pressures or create an atrial opening before surgery.
