Coronary Angiography is an invasive diagnostic procedure that uses X-ray imaging and contrast dye to visualize the coronary arteries. A thin catheter is inserted, usually through the femoral or radial artery, and guided to the heart. The contrast highlights the coronary vessels, allowing doctors to detect blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities.
Coronary Angiography is considered the gold standard for evaluating coronary artery disease (CAD). It provides precise information about the location, severity, and extent of arterial blockages, which helps in deciding the most suitable treatment—such as medication, angioplasty with stenting, or bypass surgery.
It is especially recommended for patients with angina, abnormal stress test results, acute coronary syndrome, or high risk of heart attack. In emergency situations, it can guide immediate interventions to restore blood flow and save heart muscle.
