Angiogram

An angiogram is a vital diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray imaging to view the blood vessels in your heart and detect blockages or abnormalities. It helps cardiologists plan appropriate treatment like angioplasty or bypass surgery.

When is an Angiogram Needed?

• Chest pain (angina) or unexplained discomfort
• Suspected coronary artery disease (CAD)
• Abnormal stress test results
• Pre-evaluation for heart surgery

How is it Done?

A thin flexible tube (catheter) is inserted through an artery in your arm or groin, and a special dye is injected to make your heart arteries visible on X-ray. The procedure is safe and typically completed within 30–60 minutes.
