Coronary Angiogram
Accurate Diagnosis of Heart Blockages — Quick, Safe & Painless
A Coronary Angiogram is a specialized diagnostic test used to visualize the blood vessels of the heart and identify blockages or narrowing in coronary arteries. At Dr. Siva Prasad’s Hrudayalaya, we offer this essential heart test using advanced digital imaging and experienced interventional cardiologists.
This procedure helps determine the need for further treatment such as angioplasty, bypass surgery, or medication management.
How the Procedure is Done:
A thin catheter is inserted through the wrist or groin artery.
A special contrast dye is injected into the heart’s arteries.
X-ray imaging (fluoroscopy) captures detailed views of blood flow.
Blockages or narrowings are identified.
Further intervention (like stenting) may be done if required.
When It’s Recommended:
Suspected coronary artery disease
Unexplained chest pain
Abnormal stress test or ECG
Pre-surgical evaluation in cardiac patients
