Low-risk cardiac catheterization in a community hospital.
Monmouth Medical Center opened its low-risk cardiac catheterization laboratory in 1997. One of the goals in seeking to provide approval of this service was to facilitate and provide equitable access to catheterization for patients in the catchment area. This study reports the first year's experience in providing low-risk cardiac catheterization.
