  1. All you need to know about Angiography If your cardiologist has concerns about your heart, you could be recommended for an angiogram, which is a medical test that involves taking thorough x-ray pictures of your heart and blood vessels.

  2. What is the purpose of an angiogram? An angiogram can be used by a doctor to look at blood vessels all over the body, including in the: back neck heart chest abdomen pelvis arms and hands legs and feet During an angiogram, a doctor will check for symptoms of heart failure and blood vessel issues.

  3. What is the concept of an angiogram? An angiogram is a procedure that involves taking pictures of the arteries in your brain, heart, and kidneys using X-rays and a special dye (contrast). The dye is inserted through an artery in your groyne or (in some cases) your arm through a narrow tube or catheter. After a local anaesthetic injection around the artery, the narrow tube is inserted. Intravenous sedation is also used. An X-ray machine is used to take pictures after the dye has been injected.Angiograms are used by physicians for a variety of reasons.

  4. They use the findings of an angiogram to diagnose the following conditions: Aneurysms are bulges that form in the walls of weakened arteries. Plaques and fatty material build-up on the inner walls of arteries, causing atherosclerosis. pulmonary embolisms, or blood clots, are a form of pulmonary embolism. Vascular stenosis is a condition in which blood vessels leading to the brain, heart, or legs narrow abnormally. Anomalies of the blood vessels of the heart, that are present at birth.

  5. Procedure of angiogram  During the process: A mild sedative may be administered by a doctor prior to the test to help the person relax. It will not make you unconscious. The doctor will then clean and numb the region of the body where the catheter will be inserted. The catheter would be inserted through an artery through a slight cut in the skin. The doctor will carefully direct the catheter to the blood vessel they want to test until it is inside the artery. The contrast dye will be injected through the catheter, and X-ray images of the blood vessel will be taken. When the doctor injects the contrast dye, the patient can experience a mild burning sensation.

  6. Following the process: The doctor will remove the catheter and apply steady pressure to the region for about 15 minutes after taking the X-ray pictures. There will be no internal bleeding as a result of this. The patient would then be taken back to their emergency room or to the cardiac unit by a nurse. The doctor may return at a later time to discuss the patient's findings. For more information about angiography, download the Meddco app or visit meddco.com
