Angiography is a procedure that involves checking of narrow, blocked,
enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many regions of the body,
including the brain, heart, abdomen, and legs.
The images or readings resulting from this process are called an
angiogram.
Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye and x-rays
to see the flow of blood in the arteries of your heart.
This shows the extent and severity of any heart disease, and can help you
to figure out how well your heart is working.
With this information, you and your doctor can talk through your treatment
options, like angioplasty, bypass surgery or medications. We will talk about
these treatment in our future videos.
Now let us see that how the coronary angiography is Performed?
Coronary angiography is often done along with cardiac catheterization.
An area of your body (the arm or groin) is cleaned and numbed with
anesthetic.
The cardiologist passes a thin hollow tube, called a catheter, through an
artery. The doctor will use live x-ray pictures to carefully guide the catheter
up into your heart and arteries.
Once the catheter is in place, your doctor will inject a liquid dye through a
catheter. The dye makes the blood flowing inside the blood vessels visible
on an X-ray and shows any narrowed or blocked area in the blood vessel.
The dye is later eliminated from your body through urine.
You can expect the test to last half an hour, although it can sometimes take
longer.
