Coronary Angiography / Angiogram

Coronary angiography, also called angiogram, is a specialised test that directly shows whether the arteries supplying the heart have significant narrowing or blockage.

What Coronary Angiography / Angiogram Evaluates

Contrast dye and imaging are used to map the coronary circulation accurately.
It helps define how many arteries are affected and how severe the blockages are.
The results guide the choice between medicines, angioplasty, and bypass surgery.
It is often the decisive diagnostic test when symptoms or prior reports suggest major coronary disease.

When Coronary Angiography / Angiogram Is Recommended

Unstable chest pain, heart attack, or strong suspicion of important coronary blockage.
Persistent angina despite medical treatment or abnormal stress-test results.
Planning before angioplasty or surgery when exact anatomy must be known.
Patients whose symptoms and risk profile suggest high coronary event potential.

Who May Benefit From Coronary Angiography / Angiogram

Patients with significant chest symptoms or high-risk diagnostic findings.
People who need precise coronary assessment before advanced treatment.
Individuals with recurrent hospital visits for suspected ischemic heart disease.
Patients whose treatment decisions depend on accurate angiographic detail.

Benefits of Coronary Angiography / 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.
