Cath Lab
Global Mission Hospital offers a state-of-the-art Cath Lab, equipped with advanced diagnostic imaging tools to support a variety of cardiac and vascular procedures. Our Cath Lab is staffed with experienced doctors and medical professionals who guide patients through every step of their procedure, ensuring comfort and safety.
The Cath Lab provides a minimally invasive approach to diagnosing and treating heart and vascular conditions, using small, flexible catheters to access and visualize the heart and blood vessels. This technique allows for effective diagnosis and treatment of blockages, artery issues, and other cardiovascular conditions.
What We Do in the Cath Lab
At Global Mission Hospital, the Cath Lab is used for a wide range of diagnostic and interventional procedures, such as:
- Cardiac catheterization to examine the heart’s arteries and chambers.
- Inserting catheters to treat blockages or defects in the heart.
- Using specialized imaging equipment to assess blood flow efficiency.
- Performing procedures like angioplasty and stent placement when necessary.
During the procedure, a catheter is inserted through a small incision, typically in the groin, arm, or neck, and threaded to the heart. The doctor can use this catheter to gather samples or inject contrast dye to identify narrow or blocked arteries. This procedure can sometimes replace traditional open-heart surgeries for treating defects or replacing heart valves.

Our Cath Lab is designed with patient safety and comfort in mind. We have dedicated staff and cutting-edge technology to ensure the best care possible during these crucial diagnostic and treatment procedures. With our expertise, we can offer the most accurate diagnoses and the latest in treatment options to address cardiovascular issues effectively.
