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.
