Coronary Angiogram / Angiography :
A coronary angiogram is described as an investigation conducted by a cardiologist to identify if there are any blockages in the coronary arteries, by visualizing how well the blood is moving in the coronary arteries. This imaging test is recommended if the patient has symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain and chest discomfort, and if the patient's electrocardiogram was abnormal. Coronary angiography is also advised prior to heart surgery and for people with a history of attack, people diagnosed with heart conditions like heart valve disease, coronary artery disease and heart failure. The side effects that may arise after coronary angiography include abnormal heartbeats, stroke, blood clots, injured blood vessel, low blood pressure, pain and bleeding where a catheter or needle went into the skin, cardiac tamponade and heart attack. Angioplasty or stenting, medications and coronary artery bypass surgery are the treatment methods recommended after coronary angiography is performed.
