Diabetic Cardiac Catheterization
Diabetic cardiac catheterization is a medical procedure that involves inserting catheters into veins or arteries to reach the heart’s left or right side. This procedure is used to diagnose and treat heart conditions, especially in diabetic patients who are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease due to high blood sugar levels. At Revere Health, we provide specialized cardiac catheterization for diabetic patients to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions, helping to prevent serious complications such as heart attacks or heart failure.
How Cardiac Catheterization Works
During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm or groin and guided to the heart. This allows doctors to:
Measure Blood Flow and Pressure: Determine how well blood is flowing through the heart and assess the pressure within the heart’s chambers.
Check for Blockages: Identify any narrowed or blocked arteries that could lead to heart disease.
Treat Blockages: In some cases, the procedure includes treatments such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement to open blocked arteries and improve blood flow.
Why Cardiac Catheterization is Important for Diabetic Patients
Increased Cardiovascular Risk: Diabetes significantly raises the risk of heart disease, making it important to monitor heart health closely.
Early Detection: Cardiac catheterization helps identify potential issues such as coronary artery disease, which can be treated before they lead to severe complications.
Personalized Care: Diabetic patients may require special considerations during heart procedures due to their increased risk of complications, such as poor circulation or kidney issues.
