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. • After the angiography you may need to stay in hospital for several hours • or overnight following the procedure. You may be asked to drink fluids to • prevent dehydration and flush the dye from your kidneys. • #Angiography • #Angiogram • #CardiacCatheterization
