Angiography and angioplasty: Paving the way for heart health

Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty

Coronary angiography is a medical procedure that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize the blood vessels in the heart. Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that widens narrowed or blocked coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart muscle.

Coronary angiography offers detailed insights into your heart’s condition, guiding personalized treatment. Angioplasty then restores blood flow, alleviating blockages and revitalizing your heart’s function. Trust us for comprehensive cardiac care.

Angiography is commonly used in various medical specialties

Coronary angiography is primarily used in the diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the most common type of heart disease. CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis). This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or even heart attack.
