Cardiac<unk>  is an endovascular<unk>  that aims to study cardiac function and anatomy, as well as to diagnose and treat acute cardiovascular diseases and evaluate surgical candidates. Cardiac<unk>  may be either diagnostic (no intervention) or therapeutic (percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI). However, it may also be classified as coronary angiography (assess patency of coronary arteries), left heart<unk>  (to assess blood flow, anatomy, and<unk> ssures in left heart chambers and to evaluate the anatomy and function of the mitral and aortic valves), or right heart<unk>  (to assess blood flow, anatomy, and<unk> ssures in right heart chambers, anatomy and function of the tricuspid and pulmonic valves, pulmonary artery<unk> ssure, and pulmonary capillary wedge<unk> ssure). Determining emergency/urgency for revascularization dictates how extensive and how thorough the<unk> -cardiac<unk>  management will be. In the case of emergencies (e.g. myocardial infarction), patient transfer to the<unk>  laboratory and immediate revascularization (door-to-balloon)<unk> cede all other steps in management. In contrast, stable patients require a more extensive work-up<unk> -catheterization to minimize the risk of adverse events that may develop during or following the<unk> .
