What is Coronary Angiography ?
Coronary angiography is a diagnostic technique used to visualize the coronary arteries and assess blood flow to the heart muscle. It helps cardiologists evaluate the presence and severity of blockages or narrowing in these arteries, which can lead to conditions like angina (chest pain) or heart attacks.
Benefits of Coronary Angiography:
- Coronary angiography provides detailed and accurate information about the condition of the coronary arteries, helping doctors make precise diagnoses.
- The information obtained from angiography guides treatment decisions.
- It helps determine whether procedures like angioplasty or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are necessary.
- Angiography helps assess the risk of heart attacks or other cardiovascular events.
