heart cath procedure – Cardiac Catheterization
Dr. Mullins, a pioneer in this area, has written an outstanding reference which covers all aspects of performing diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization procedures on patients of all ages.
This illustrated book details the equipment and techniques for performing safe and successful procedures, with a strong emphasis on avoiding complications. It also includes the requirements of a catheterization laboratory for congenital heart patients, as well as guidance for setting up and operating such a laboratory.
Cardiac Catheterization in Congenital Heart Disease serves as an essential manual for pediatric and adult interventional cardiologists worldwide.

CHDs are the most common type of birth defect in the world. There are approximately 35,000 babies born with a CHD each year in the USA alone. That is more than Spina Bifida, Down Syndrome and Sickle Cell Disease all combined. CHDs are the number 1 cause of birth defect related deaths. CHDs kill twice as many infants and children as all types of childhood cancer combined. Even with these statistics, CHD research is extrememly underfunded. Pediatric Oncology gets nearly 5 times the funding as CHDs. For every dollar donated to a general or government health fund, less than one penny goes to CHD research. Less than 25% of the American Heart Association’s revenue goes to research. Of that 25%, only about 1% goes to pediatric cardiology and CHD research. That’s $0.25 out of every $100.
My daughter was born with a serious Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. She has been through 3 massive open heart surgeries, 2 heart caths and countless other procedures and hospital stays. Every year we hold a golf outing fundraiser to raise money for the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, where Heidi was born and had all of her surgeries at.

heart cath procedure
Coverage includes:
Explanations of what the heart condition is and how the procedure may relieve that condition
Descriptions of what the patient can expect to happen before, during and after the procedure
What nurses should observe for post procedure, and how to address any complications that may occur
Guidelines for discharge advice
Outlines for a pre and post care plan for each procedure – based on the latest research and experience.
Nurses will find the book informative on common interventional procedures, but it is also designed as a tool to be dipped into when caring for patients with more unusual procedures. This practical book includes chapters on: cardiac catheterisation; percutaneous coronary intervention; percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty; removal of femoral sheaths; cardioversion; temporary and permanent pacemakers.
