Right heart catheterization including measurement(s) of oxygen saturation and cardiac output, when performed
AI EXPLANATION: A right heart cardiac catheterization is a diagnostic test that checks blood flow and pressure in the heart and lungs. During the procedure, a doctor gently threads a thin, flexible tube called a catheter through a blood vessel and into the right chambers of the heart. This allows clinicians to measure how much blood the heart pumps, check blood pressure inside the pulmonary arteries, and evaluate oxygen levels in the circulating blood.
