What is a coronary angiography?
Coronary angiography is a medical imaging procedure used to examine the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
During the procedure, doctors insert a thin, flexible tube called a catheter into a blood vessel, usually in the wrist or groin, and guide it to the heart. A special contrast dye is then injected into the coronary arteries, and X-ray images are taken to identify any narrowing or blockages.
