Coronary Angiography – Know Your Heart’s Health
Coronary Angiography is a crucial diagnostic procedure used to visualize the blood vessels of your heart. It helps determine if there is any blockage or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which could lead to chest pain, shortness of breath, or even a heart attack. At our advanced cardiac center, we offer safe and accurate coronary angiography services performed by experienced cardiologists using state-of-the-art equipment.
What is Coronary Angiography?
Coronary angiography, also known as a coronary catheterization, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special dye (contrast material) and X-ray imaging to examine the arteries supplying blood to your heart. It provides real-time images to assess the condition of your coronary arteries.
During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through a blood vessel—usually in the wrist or groin—and guided to the coronary arteries. Once in place, the dye is injected, and X-ray images are taken to detect any blockages or abnormalities.
Why is Coronary Angiography Done?
Your doctor may recommend a coronary angiography if you:
- Have symptoms like chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or fatigue
- Have abnormal results from an ECG, stress test, or echocardiogram
- Are suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Have survived a heart attack and need further evaluation
- Are scheduled for heart surgery or angioplasty
