Coronary Angiography
Angiography Specialist – Dr. Krishna Dhoot, Hadapsar
Coronary Angiography is a specialized imaging procedure used to visualize the blood vessels of the heart. This diagnostic tool helps in detecting blockages or narrowing in the coronary arteries, which can lead to heart conditions like angina or heart attacks. By using a contrast dye and X-ray technology, coronary angiography provides detailed images that aid in assessing heart health and planning appropriate treatments.
Why is Coronary Angiography Performed?
Coronary Angiography is often recommended for patients who:
- Experience chest pain or angina
- Have symptoms of coronary artery disease
- Show abnormal results from other heart tests, such as an ECG or stress test
- Have a heart attack history or are at high risk of heart conditions
- Require evaluation before undergoing heart surgery
