Left Heart Catheterization With Ventriculogram

Alabama rates for HCPCS 93452

A catheter is threaded through a blood vessel into the main pumping chamber on the left side of the heart to measure the pressure inside it. Dye is generally injected so X-ray pictures can show how strongly and evenly that chamber squeezes. This study examines how the left side of the heart is performing rather than picturing the heart arteries themselves.
