"Cath labs are an important part of treating heart conditions. A catheterization laboratory, or cath lab, is a procedural hospital room where minimally invasive tests and procedures are performed to diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease."
Heart disease treatment in a cath lab involves minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty and stenting to open blocked arteries, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of heart attacks.
Valve replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged heart valve with a prosthetic one. It treats conditions like aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and mitral stenosis.

Coronary stent placement is a procedure to open blocked arteries in the heart. A stent, a small, mesh-like tube, is inserted into the artery to keep it open and improve blood flow.
Right heart catheterization is a procedure that measures the pressure and flow of blood in the right side of the heart. It is often used to diagnose heart failure and other conditions.
