Coronary Angiography is a specialized diagnostic test that helps your cardiologist visualize the blood flow in your heart’s arteries. It is one of the most accurate procedures to detect blockages, narrowings, or abnormalities in the coronary arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
At Apex Hospital, Moradabad, Dr. Nitin Agrawal, a highly experienced and Gold Medalist Interventional Cardiologist from KGMU, Lucknow, performs Coronary Angiography with advanced technology and precision to ensure safe and accurate diagnosis.
Why is Coronary Angiography Done?
Coronary Angiography is recommended when patients experience symptoms such as:
Chest pain (angina) or discomfort
Shortness of breath
Unexplained fatigue or dizziness
Abnormal stress test (TMT or Echo results)
Suspected heart attack or unstable heart rhythm
This test helps your cardiologist identify where and how severe a blockage is, allowing for timely and effective treatment—often through angioplasty (stent placement) if needed.
How is the Procedure Performed?
The procedure is usually done through the radial artery (wrist) or sometimes through the femoral artery (groin).
A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is gently guided to the heart’s arteries.
A special dye (contrast) is injected, and real-time X-ray images are captured to see how blood flows through the arteries
The procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes and is minimally invasive.
Dr. Agrawal is an expert in radial route angiography, which offers faster recovery, minimal bleeding, and enhanced patient comfort.
Benefits of Coronary Angiography
Accurate detection of coronary blockages
Helps in planning angioplasty or bypass surgery
