How frequently can you get a heart catherization done?

Cardiac catheteriz: Cardiac catheterization is an important procedure but should not be done unless information from it is needed in decision making for the patient. There are risks. Right heart catheterization without angiography as is done to follow pulmonary hypertension is quite benign. When right/left heart cath and angiography are done the risks go up.
