Right Heart Catheterisation (RHC) – Expert Cardiac Assessment by Dr. Chabok

Dr. Chabok specializes in Right Heart Catheterisation (RHC), a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate heart function, blood flow, and pressures in the right side of the heart and lungs.

✅ What is Right Heart Catheterisation?

  • A procedure that measures pressure and oxygen levels in the right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, and lungs.
  • Helps diagnose and monitor heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and valve diseases.

✅ Procedure Overview:

  • A thin catheter is inserted into a large vein (usually in the neck, groin, or arm).
  • The catheter is guided into the right heart chambers and pulmonary arteries.
  • Measurements of blood pressure, oxygen levels, and cardiac output are taken.
  • The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.

✅ Why It’s Done:

  • To diagnose pulmonary hypertension.
  • To assess heart failure and right heart function.
  • To evaluate valvular heart disease.
  • To guide treatment decisions for advanced heart conditions.

✅ Benefits of RHC:

  • Accurate, real-time heart function assessment.
  • Minimally invasive with a quick recovery.
  • Helps in tailoring treatment for heart failure and pulmonary conditions.
