Our Cardiac Catheterization Lab is accredited by Corazon, recognizing our commitment to delivering high-quality cardiac catheterization and life-saving PCI care, including 24/7 emergency coverage, rigorous quality review processes and outcomes that meet or exceed national standards. 

Our Cardiac Procedures Unit (CPU) team has extensive experience and takes great pride in prioritizing comfort and safety for patients and family members before, during and after a heart catheterization. Because catheterizations involve the use of x-ray technology, our interventional cardiologists employ a variety of techniques and equipment aimed at reducing radiation exposure during the procedure. 

Beyond basic angiography (images of the heart vessels), U-M Health interventional cardiologists are experts in the use of additional technologies that allow for heart blood flow assessment and imaging of heart arteries from the inside out. 

Heart catheterizations at U-M Health take place at the Frankel Cardiovascular Center. This provides an optimal opportunity for our cardiologists to have close consultation with experts in interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, heart valve disease, heart failure and transplant, and electrophysiology, all under one roof.

Cardiac catheterization is recommended for:

• Angina or chest pain
• Abnormal Stress Testing
• Angioplasty and Stenting
• Arrhythmias
• Heart Attack
• Heart Failure
• Heart Valve Disease (Aortic Valve Disease, Mitral Valve Disease, Tricuspid Valve Disease)
• Pulmonary Hypertension
