It will help if you will provide which cardiac irregularity you are referring to. Cardiac caths have been used for at least 30 years, but are acatually not used as much at this time. Sonography, CT scans, and MRI's are non invasive diagnostic procedures that provide very accurate data that defines the cardiac disorder. Balloon angioplasty is one method used to compress the size of compromising plaque deposits in coronary arteries. However, the placement of "stents" against these plaque deposits is a very reliable and more permanent treatment to intervene in the realistic compromise that exists from plaque deposits.
