Cardiac Catheterization

Duke offers a large and experienced program in diagnostic cardiac catheterization, in which contrast dye is injected into the heart so x-ray images of the heart and arteries can be taken.

Patients and families consistently rank Duke’s cardiac catheterization lab among the top performers in a national patient-satisfaction survey.

Mobile Catheterization Program

Duke also provides diagnostic cardiac catheterizations at community hospitals through a mobile catheterization program called HeartCare.

We currently offer mobile cardiac catheterization services in four North Carolina communities in affiliation with:

  • Central Carolina Hospital, Sanford, NC
  • Columbus County Hospital, Whiteville, NC
  • Maria Parham Medical Center, Henderson, NC
  • Sampson Regional Medical Center, Clinton, NC

For more information, patients may ask their local primary care physician or cardiologist, or call the Heart Center Communications Center at 919-681-5816.
