Coronary Angiography Consultation
Coronary angiography is a key diagnostic procedure used to assess blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which can lead to heart disease. During the consultation, our cardiologists will review your medical history, symptoms, and risk factors to determine if the procedure is necessary.
Procedure Overview
The procedure involves inserting a catheter through a blood vessel, typically in the groin or wrist, and injecting contrast dye to capture detailed X-ray images of the coronary arteries. This helps identify any blockages or abnormalities. The process is minimally invasive and typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.
Post-Procedure Care
After the procedure, patients are monitored for a few hours, and most can return home the same day. Follow-up visits with the cardiologist are essential for further care.
Importance of Coronary Angiography
This procedure is vital for diagnosing heart disease and guiding treatment, including medical therapy or interventions like angioplasty. It is especially important for those experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, or those with risk factors for heart disease.
