One year ago today I had my first Heart Catheterization! I had tightness in my chest, could not walk without feeling it! So the cardiologist sent me for this test.
Here is what the Mayo Clinic defines as a Heart Catheterization:
The procedure was not too bad. You were awake during the entire procedure and home the same day! What does it show - BLOCKAGES!
Here is a great video of what it looks like! Remember, you can see the procedure as they are doing it and ask questions along the way! I have had two now. The second one I was more talkative, the first one I was like a "Deer in headlights!"
