About Right Heart Catheterization

This procedure is performed to observe heart function, often in those who are ill. It involves passing a catheter through the right side of the heart, and into the arteries as well. The catheter is inserted through an incision in the groin area or another area, and is guided to the cardiac region. In some cases, the doctor might remove blood using the catheter to test for oxygenation of the blood.
