Preparation. You will need to prepare for cardiac catheterization. The procedure is going to be taking place in the hospital, so preparations need to be made for a short stay there.
Fasting will be required before the procedure. Typically it is for a minimum of six hours, but it can be longer for some people. It’s something that should be discussed with your doctor. This is also important because of complications with medications. Diabetics will need to work out a plan for their medications. There are also other medications that thin the blood which need to be out of the system. Bringing all medications to the procedure for afterwards will assist in ensuring nothing is forgotten after.
