@wheel1 - thanks.

My visit tomorrow is actually related to my prostatectomy. Immediately following surgery, I had a severe round of Afib, something new for me.

That resulted in following up with a cardiologist, and he had me wear a monitor for 30 days (no issues), ordered an echocardiogram (no issues), and a nuclear stress test (aced the treadmill, but imaging showed something concerning).

The cath is to find out more about that “something concerning” - he told me he thinks there’s a very good chance it’s a false positive, but he wants to be sure.

If I’m lucky, nothing but a poke around, if I’m a little less lucky, a stent, and if I’m really unlucky, there’s some kind of blockage in there.

They’ll be going through my wrist for this one. He said they don’t do so many groin ones these days. My wife has had two (same cardiologist), and those were both done using the groin to gain access.
