Cardiac catheterisation is used to provide access to the coronary arteries, allowing cardiologists to take images and treat heart disease. This article aims to provide a brief overview of the arterial system and reasons for cardiac catheterisation. How healthcare assistants and assistant practitioners can support senior staff in preparation and post-procedural care is also explored throughout the article.
