Angiography

Angiography is a test procedure to check blood vessels in the heart.

This test is suggested only after doing a number of other non-invasive heart tests like –

• Stress
• Echocardiogram
• Electrocardiogram

What happens in Angiography?

During Angiography, a small cut is made in one of the arteries and a long thin tube is inserted to examine the critical area. A special dye is injected through a cathedral, which takes a series of x-rays images. Accordingly, a decision is taken for further medical action.

When is Angiography done?

There are several factors when a doctor may recommend an Angiography.

• Chest pain which looks like symptoms of coronary artery disease
• Abnormal results in the Stress test
• Unexplained pain in jaw, neck, back, and arm after doing other tests
• Chest injury
• Blood vessel problem
• Born with a heart defect
