Virtual Tour of Meriter's
Heart Hospital

Catheterization Lab
This lab is dedicated to state-of-the-art cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment.
Catheterization measures blood pressure within the heart, blood oxygen levels
and the heart muscle's pumping ability. In this lab, cardiovascular technologists
monitor patients' vital signs and internal pressure, and record procedural events and images.

During a procedure, soothing music is played and "clouds" on the ceiling
provide a calming distraction for the patient. You can learn more about
coronary catheterizations by reading our Coronary Catheterizations article.
