Heart procedures in the Philips CathLab
Diagnostic and interventional heart procedures with 24-hour cardiac emergency and critical care support.
What to expect.
The cardiologist first reviews your symptoms, examination and tests to decide whether a procedure is needed. Not every heart problem requires an intervention.
When indicated, procedures are performed in Wellmed’s Philips cardiac catheterisation lab. The team explains preparation, benefits, risks and recovery before consent.
