Coronary Angiography is a specialized diagnostic procedure that uses contrast dye and X-ray imaging to visualize the coronary arteries — the blood vessels supplying your heart. This test is crucial for identifying blockages, narrowing, or other abnormalities in the arteries, and is often the first step in planning life-saving interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery.
"Coronary Angiography is the gold standard for detecting heart blockages. Early detection saves lives and prevents major cardiac events."
At our advanced heart center in Bangalore, Dr. Basavaraj Utagi performs Coronary Angiography with high precision using modern digital cath lab technology. With years of experience and thousands of successful procedures, we ensure accurate diagnosis, patient safety, and compassionate care throughout the process.
If you're experiencing chest discomfort, breathlessness, or symptoms suggestive of angina or a previous heart attack, your cardiologist may recommend an angiogram to assess arterial health.
Coronary angiography is often performed after abnormal results in ECG, TMT, or ECHO to confirm diagnosis and guide further intervention like stenting or surgery.
