Coronary Angiography

Coronary Angiography

Coronary angiography is a diagnostic test used to visualize the coronary arteries of the heart. It involves the injection of a contrast dye into the arteries through a catheter, which allows for X-ray imaging of the heart's blood vessels.

The test is typically performed to evaluate patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease, as well as those experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or abnormal heart rhythms. During the procedure, the patient is awake but sedated and lies on an X-ray table while the catheter is inserted into an artery in the wrist or groin. Coronary angiography is generally considered a safe and effective diagnostic tool for evaluating the health of the heart's blood vessels.
