Angiography

Introduction

Angiography is a crucial diagnostic procedure used to visualize the blood vessels and assess the flow of blood to the heart. It plays a vital role in identifying blockages or abnormalities in the coronary arteries that could lead to serious heart conditions. Dr. Gautam Naik, a leading Senior Consultant Interventional and Structural Cardiologist in Delhi, specializes in performing angiography with the highest level of precision, providing accurate diagnoses that are essential for effective treatment planning.

What is Angiography?

Angiography, also known as coronary angiography when focused on the heart, is a type of imaging test that uses X-rays to take detailed pictures of the heart’s blood vessels. The procedure involves the injection of a contrast dye into the coronary arteries through a catheter, which helps to highlight the vessels on the X-ray images.

How Angiography Works

1. Procedure Overview:
   • The procedure begins with the insertion of a catheter into an artery, usually in the groin or wrist. The catheter is then carefully guided to the coronary arteries.
   • A special contrast dye is injected through the catheter, which makes the blood vessels visible on the X-ray images.
   • These images provide detailed information about the condition of the arteries, allowing for the identification of any blockages or narrowing.
2. Diagnostic Benefits:
   • Accurate Detection: Angiography is considered the gold standard for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD), helping to pinpoint the exact location and severity of blockages.
   • Guides Treatment: The results of an angiography help in determining the most appropriate treatment plan, whether it’s medication, angioplasty, or surgery.
   • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive, typically requiring only a small incision and resulting in a quick recovery time.
