Fairview Ridges Hospital offers expanded heart care capabilities with the opening of its new catherization laboratory in January of 2009. A catherization laboratory or “cath lab” is a procedure/ examination room in a hospital that uses state-of-the-art imaging technology, allowing your physician to see inside your arteries.

Fairview Ridges Hospital's cath lab is the only heart lab serving people living in south metro communities, and allows for better and faster diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions, including treating blockages in your arteries from plaque build up that may lead to a heart attack. 

Burnsville Community Television filmed a live cardiac catheterization procedure at Fairview Ridges Hospital. Watch the video to learn more about the cath lab.
