cardiac Catheterization Lab

Skagit Valley Hospital's two cardiac catheterization labs offer quick access to patients for enhanced images of their heart. Our newest lab was designed as a surgical suite and completed in late 2006. Having two labs allows heart attack victims to be immediately brought in for angioplasty or stent procedures to open a blocked artery, enhancing patient outcomes. The flat-panel equipment in the newer surgical suite provides enhanced resolution with a lower radiation dose during diagnostic heart catheterization. These tests are used to check on the condition of the heart and the flow of blood through the arteries - providing a detailed view.
