Coronary Angiogram

Coronary angiogram is an invasive imaging test that uses contrast dye and X-ray guidance to show whether the arteries of the heart are narrowed or blocked.

What Coronary Angiogram Evaluates

• The test gives a direct view of the coronary arteries and the severity of blockages.

• It helps explain chest pain, abnormal stress tests, and suspected heart attack patterns.

• Angiogram findings guide whether medicines, angioplasty, or surgery is the best next step.

• It is one of the most accurate ways to plan coronary treatment when symptoms are significant.

When Coronary Angiogram Is Recommended

• Patients with angina, unstable chest pain, or heart attack symptoms.

• People with abnormal TMT, CT, or other tests suggesting important coronary disease.

• Cases where persistent symptoms continue despite medication.

• Patients being evaluated before angioplasty or bypass planning.

Who May Benefit From Coronary Angiogram

• Individuals with recurrent chest discomfort or high-risk coronary symptoms.

• Patients whose non-invasive tests do not fully explain the severity of disease.

• People who need precise diagnosis before deciding on advanced treatment.

• Patients in whom early intervention planning can improve safety and outcomes.

Benefits of Coronary Angiogram

• Provides clearer diagnosis and more confident treatment decisions.

• Helps identify heart problems earlier, before symptoms become serious.

• Reduces uncertainty when chest pain, breathlessness, or palpitations need explanation.

• Guides follow-up care, medication changes, and preventive heart planning.
