Coronary Angiography in India
Coronary angiography is an X-ray test that uses a contrast dye to show how blood flows through the heart's arteries. It is the most accurate way to find blockages and decide whether you need medicines, angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Typical hospital stay: Same day or 1 night
Time to plan in India: 3 to 5 days
Who needs it?
Chest pain or pressure on exertion
An abnormal ECG, echo or stress test
Breathlessness with suspected heart disease
Planning before heart valve or bypass surgery
How it's done
A thin tube (catheter) is passed through an artery in the wrist or groin under local anaesthesia
The catheter is guided to the heart arteries
Dye is injected and X-ray images are recorded
The test usually takes 30 to 45 minutes

FAQs
Is angiography painful? You stay awake but the access site is numbed, so most people feel only mild pressure.
Can angioplasty be done in the same sitting? Often yes, if a significant blockage is found and you have agreed to it beforehand.
