What is Coronary Angiography?

Coronary angiography is a diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray imaging to visualize the coronary arteries (blood vessels that supply the heart). A contrast dye is injected into the arteries, and X-rays are taken to identify blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities.

When is Coronary Angiography Performed?

Coronary angiography is performed to diagnose coronary artery disease, evaluate chest pain, assess heart function after a heart attack, plan treatment for blocked arteries, or evaluate the results of previous treatments like bypass surgery or angioplasty.

The Procedure

Coronary angiography is typically performed under local anesthesia. A catheter is inserted into an artery (usually in the groin or wrist) and guided to the heart. Contrast dye is injected, and X-ray images are taken. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, and patients usually go home the same day or stay overnight.
