Right And Left Heart Catheterization

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 93453

A catheter study in which thin tubes are passed through blood vessels into both the right and the left side of the heart to measure the pressure inside each chamber. Dye is generally injected into the main left-sided pumping chamber so X-ray pictures can show how strongly it squeezes. It assesses how the heart as a whole is working and how high its filling pressures are, rather than picturing the heart arteries.
