The heart’s arterial blood vessels can be obstructed due to cholesterol accumulation which is termed as Coronary Artery Disease. To help diagnose this, a procedure named Angiography is performed where an X-ray is done to scan for any blockages during blood circulation in the heart. The imaging results from this angiography are known as a Coronary Angiogram. This method is also known as cardiac catheterization.
For an angiogram, the doctor would inject a safe human type of dye through a catheter in the blood vessels of the heart. This dye when it flows through the bloodstream and comes in contact with the blood vessels, it is clearly visible through an X-ray machine. This set of images(angiogram) helps the doctor to analyze the severity of the coronary artery disease.
The doctor would prescribe undergoing an angiogram under the conditions when a patient experiences the following scenarios:
The process of angiogram would generally take about 30 minutes to an hour. The procedure might extend depending upon the condition of the patient and the requirement of placement of a stent.
After the whole process the patient will be kept in observation for a few hours and based upon the observation’s reports the patient would be discharged within the same day or the next day. Then a follow up appointment of a timely period is scheduled by the doctor. Apart from that a healthy lifestyle is suggested with a decent amount of exercise and quitting any forms of intoxications such as alcohol, tobacco consumption or smoking, respectively.
