Stress Tests

Stress tests provide information about how your heart works during physical stress. Some heart problems are easier to diagnose when your heart is working hard and beating fast.

Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to examine blood flow to the heart and test how well the heart is pumping. A doctor inserts a thin plastic tube (catheter) into an artery or vein in the arm or leg. From there it can be advanced into the chambers of the heart or into the coronary arteries.
