Cardiac Catheterization in Congenital Heart Diseases

ADAUTO BARBOSA LIMA M.D.1

1 Research Associate, Division of Cardiology and Instructor, Dept. of Medicine, The Chicago Medical School.

Cardiac catheterization is a valuable tool for diagnosis and evaluation of congenital malformations of the heart. Many physical and roentgenological signs have been clarified by this method. However, there is no substitution for a good history and physical examination. The decision to submit a patient to cardiac catheterization should be made only after complete clinical evaluation of the patient. It should be pointed out that certain risks are involved in this procedure. Therefore, only a trained team can undertake this procedure with success.
