Coronary Angiography – Diagnose Heart Blockages with Precision!

Coronary angiography helps to detect blockages or narrowing that may lead to chest pain or heart attacks

What is Coronary Angiography?

Coronary angiography is a special investigative procedure that is used to detect blockages or blockages in the arteries of the heart. In this procedure, a special dye and X–ray technique (cath lab) is used to see whether the blood flow to the heart is happening correctly.

When is coronary angiography necessary?

Your doctor may recommend coronary angiography if you notice the following symptoms:

Chest pain or heaviness
Breathlessness
Severe exhaustion
Fear of heart attack
Abnormalities in ECG or stress tests

Benefits of Coronary Angiography

Accurate Diagnosis:
Provides detailed, real-time images of the coronary arteries, allowing doctors to diagnose blockages or narrowing with precision.
Immediate Treatment:
In many cases, a Coronary Angiogram can be combined with treatment, such as balloon angioplasty or stent placement, to open up blocked arteries.
Reduces Risk of Heart Attack:
Early detection and treatment of blockages help prevent severe complications such as heart attacks or sudden cardiac arrest.
Minimal Recovery Time:
The procedure is minimally invasive, allowing for a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Emergency Use:
CAG can be performed in emergency situations, such as during a heart attack, to immediately assess and treat life-threatening blockages.

Types of Angiography

Angiography is a special imaging technique used to examine the body’s blood vessels. This test is done to detect blockages, contractions, or abnormalities in different parts of the body. There are several types of angiography according to different organs and disease conditions.

Coronary Angiography
This is done to check the coronary arteries of the heart. This shows whether the blood flow to the heart is smooth or not, and whether there is a blockage anywhere.
Cerebral Angiography
This is done to examine the blood vessels of the brain. This detects blood flow related to brain stroke, aneurysm or tumor.
Peripheral Angiography
It is done to detect blockages in the blood vessels of the hands, feet, or other parts of the body.

Pulmonary Angiography
This is for examining the arteries of the lungs. This shows how the blood flow is in the lungs.
Renal Angiography
This is done to check the blood vessels of the kidneys. This shows whether the blood flow to the kidneys is correct or not.
Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)
This is an advanced technique in which (supply the heart) a clearer image of blood vessels is taken with the help of a computer. In this, bones and other structures are removed so that only blood arteries are visible.
