Learn the essentials of cardiac catheterization, hemodynamic measurements, and cath lab procedures—made simple and clear
Cardiac catheterization is a critical diagnostic and interventional procedure in modern cardiology. This comprehensive course is designed to help you master the fundamentals of cardiac catheterization—from understanding the anatomy and physiology of the heart to interpreting pressure waveforms and recognizing clinical indications. Whether you’re a student, nurse, cardiovascular technologist, or a healthcare professional looking to strengthen your clinical knowledge, this course provides a solid foundation with practical insights.
In this course, you'll explore both left and right heart catheterization techniques, including access sites, equipment, imaging angles, and safety precautions. You’ll also learn how to interpret hemodynamic measurements such as right atrial pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and aortic pressure. These skills are crucial for identifying various cardiac conditions, planning interventions, and improving patient care in real-world clinical settings.
We understand that technical topics like this can feel overwhelming. That’s why this course is designed to break complex topics into easy-to-understand lessons, using clear visuals, clinical examples, and step-by-step explanations. You’ll also get helpful tips on how to remember important concepts, interpret waveforms, and communicate effectively in the cath lab environment.
Key topics covered include:
Introduction to cardiac catheterization
Indications and contraindications
Cath lab equipment and patient preparation
Arterial and venous access (radial, femoral, jugular)
Left vs. right heart catheterization
Hemodynamic waveforms and pressure interpretation
Common cath lab procedures (angiography, FFR, IVUS, OCT, etc.)
Complications and how to manage them
Post-procedural care and safety protocols
This course is ideal for:
Medical and nursing students
Cardiology trainees and interns
Cardiovascular technologists and cath lab staff
Allied health professionals preparing for clinical roles
Anyone with an interest in interventional cardiology
By the end of this course, you will have a strong grasp of cardiac catheterization techniques, enhanced confidence in reading pressure data, and a better understanding of the clinical value these procedures offer. You'll be prepared to contribute effectively in a cath lab setting or continue advanced studies in the field.
Enroll now to take the first step toward mastering one of the most important procedures in cardiovascular care. Let’s learn together—clearly, confidently, and step by step.
