what the risks are heart, section, the middle, heart, angiography, right heart, right heart vetriculography, study, the right chambers, atrium, ventricle, the heart, test is used, obtain measurements of pressure, oxygen, cardiac output, a catheter, thin flexible tube, visualization, the right chambers is also necessary, obtained by injection of contrast media, the catheter, right side, the heart, a rapid succession of x-rays, capture images of blood flow, a cardiologist inserts a catheter into a vein, in the neck, groin after cleansing the site, numbing the area, a local anesthetic, catheter is in place, dye is injected, the cardiologist to          View the size, the cardiac chambers, food, fluid, restricted, 8 hours, procedure takes place, in the hospital, generally, admitted, either an outpatient, an inpatient the morning, the procedure, cases you, admitted the night, a health care provider must explain the procedure, its risks, must sign a consent form, a mild sedative, given 1/2 hour, the procedure, last, one to several hours, wear hospital clothing, infants, children, test depends on child's age, level of trust, prepare child, infant test, procedure preparation, birth to 1 year, toddler test, procedure preparation, 1 to 3 years, preschooler test, procedure preparation, 3 to 6 years, schoolage test, procedure preparation, 6 to 12 years, adolescent test, procedure preparation, 12 to 18 years, a vein is accessed, in the neck, groin, threading the catheter into heart, given a local anesthesia, the insertion, the catheter, sensation, one of pressure, site, right-heart angiography is performed to detect abnormalities in blood flow, the right side, the heart, see swan-ganz catheterization, weakened pumping function, the right ventricle might be detected, could be, due to numerous causes, right atrial abnormalities right atrial myxoma present, abnormal pressures, volumes, abnormalities, the right-sided heart valves, abnormal connections between the right, left side, the heart detected, risks, the procedure, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac tamponade, trauma, vein, artery, low blood pressure, infection, embolism from blood clots, tip, the catheter, reaction to contrast medium, hemorrhage, stroke, heart attack this test combined, coronary angiography.
