Left Heart Catheterization

Left Heart Catheterization is a diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular procedure that involves the insertion of a catheter into the left side of the heart or the left ventricle, typically via the femoral artery, to assess left ventricular function, measure pressures, and perform coronary angiography, differentiating it from right heart catheterization by its access to systemic circulation and focus on arterial and left-sided cardiac structures.
