Angiography

Angiography is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to visualize blood vessels and identify blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities in blood flow. It is most commonly used to examine the coronary arteries of the heart, but it can also be performed for the brain, lungs, and peripheral blood vessels. The procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into the bloodstream and capturing X-ray images to clearly map the flow of blood through the arteries. Angiography plays a crucial role in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases and guiding further treatment such as angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery. It is widely performed in advanced cardiac centers across India due to its accuracy, safety, and ability to provide real-time insights into vascular health.
