Oklahoma Heart Hospital – A Department of McAlester Regional Health Center

OHH cardiology care reaches across Southeast Oklahoma we are committed to partnering with referring physicians throughout the region to provide patients with the most innovative successful treatment options.  We value collaboration at every level of care, from providing personalized patient care to staff support who shares clinical expertise with research in the latest technologies.  We focus on treating and preventing the disease of the heart.

Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization offers significant benefits as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for heart conditions. This minimally invasive technique involves threading a thin, flexible tube (catheter) through a blood vessel to the heart, providing detailed and real-time information about heart function, blood flow, and coronary artery health. It is instrumental in diagnosing various cardiac issues, such as coronary artery disease, heart valve problems, and congenital heart defects. Cardiac catheterization allows for precise measurement of blood pressure within the heart and oxygen levels in different heart chambers, aiding in accurate diagnosis. Additionally, it facilitates therapeutic interventions, such as angioplasty and stent placement, which can restore proper blood flow in blocked arteries, often eliminating the need for more invasive surgical procedures. The procedure’s ability to provide immediate diagnostic insights and enable timely, targeted treatments enhances patient outcomes, making it a cornerstone of modern cardiology.

Vascular Catheterization

Vascular catheterization offers numerous benefits as a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various vascular conditions. By inserting a thin, flexible tube (catheter) into the blood vessels, doctors can obtain precise information about blood flow, pressure, and blockages in arteries and veins. This technique is invaluable in diagnosing conditions such as peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and aneurysms. Vascular catheterization can also facilitate therapeutic interventions, such as angioplasty, stent placement, and the delivery of medications directly to targeted areas, effectively improving blood circulation and alleviating symptoms. The procedure typically involves less risk, shorter recovery times, and reduced discomfort compared to open surgeries. Additionally, the real-time imaging provided during vascular catheterization allows for precise and controlled interventions, enhancing the accuracy and success of treatments. Overall, vascular catheterization’s ability to combine diagnosis and treatment in a single, less invasive procedure significantly improves patient outcomes and quality of life.
