  Answers

1. Why do I need this test?

   We need to more completely define the status of your heart.

2. Can't we get this information some other way?

   No, we can't. The tests done previously have not answered all the questions about your heart, and your doctor has ordered a catheterization so that we can find out the answers to those questions.
